In 2004 Al Pacino lead a big screen adaptation of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. Directed by Michael Radford (Il Postino, 1984, Flawless), it featured a star-studded mainly British cast and was a respectable hit at the worldwide box office.
Lecturer in English, ex-BBC producer and authoritative voice on Shakespeare's work, Dr. Andrea Smith joins the podcast to discuss this adaptation, Pacino's performance and whether he was too old to play Shylock.
ALL ABOUT AL: THE PACINO PODCAST is written, produced and presented by Mark Searby.
