Portia argued that the pound of flesh must only be a pound of flesh without a single drop of blood to be shed. Shylock lost the case.

Anyone else think Shakespeare is a bit boring? You’ve probably heard this a hundred times but Shakespeare walks into a pub… the landlord shouts get out ya Bard!

J, Much ado about nothing and a Midsummer night's dream are a lot lighter whereas some can drag out a bit...but everyone has their own preferences. I HATED Shakespeare until I saw a really different version of Macbeth and Midsummer live...now I'm a fan.

It needs to be modernised as "453g of flesh". Ha ha.
