Some people strive for riches beyond the point of avarice, others for power, control, influence, or even to impress; and yet the greatest authority on human existence is the abundance of tales, the intensity of stories that come flowing out of the imagination from one mind; a million pounds may buy your dreams, but it is the power and inspiration that colour life and give it meaning that wields the privilege of being human.

There is a subsection of the police procedural crime fiction that the armchair detective will rave about, as if solving a murder wasn’t good enough for them, that they can battle their own wits against the investigator in charge, it is when the villain is so conniving, so  devious in their passion to prove they are just as clever as the one chasing them, if not more so, the complications presented to the viewer are boundless and enthralling to decipher.

Long regarded in the first folio of William Shakespeare’s works as perhaps nothing more than a romantic comedy, it is with fresh eyes in this more discerning and in part justly cynical age to look upon The Merchant of Venice as a problem play, one that deals with the idea of outspoken racism, of anti-Semitism and even inward contempt and intolerance towards a man of another faith, using his debt in which to berate him consciously for his words and supposed lack of loyalty to his God.
