dizzymissruby 's review for:

The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare
5.0

This was my least favourite Shakespeare story I've read but I listened to this solely for Colin Morgan narrating Bassanio and I find that I like this BBC audio version a lot more than when I read it years ago. The setting of London during the 2008 financial crisis definitely gave it a more modern tone. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Colin and Hayley Atwell, they stood out to me the most with the way they truly portrayed their characters with emotion and love for one another's characters!
