Speakers: Howard Jacobson, Polly Findlay, Alex Clark

Written with Howard Jacobson’s customary originality, energy and wit, Shylock is My Name is the Man Booker Prize-winner’s profound and provocative re-telling of The Merchant of Venice in a contemporary setting. Howard Jacobson talks to the Guardian’s Alex Clark about his interpretation of Shylock’s story, asking what it means to be a father, a Jew and a merciful human being in the modern world. We are delighted that the award-winning theatre director, Polly Findlay, is joining Howard Jacobson and Alex Clark in this event.
