    I've heard of this Shakespeare play but I don't think I've ever seen it.

      We read it in school, and I think it's been one of the more popular ones for adaptation. There are several out there to choose from, so it's an easy one to find if you get the urge :)

    Now this is definitely one Shakespeare play I remember doing in school ... the pound of flesh has long stuck with me.

      Yes, there's a lot there, and I love the legal maneuverings.

      I wonder why that one was such a mainstay. That Quality of Mercy soliloquy, maybe.
