The price of love:

A pound of flesh?

In this comedy of three marriages, it's expensive, and lives are at stake!

Bassanio can't afford to court Portia, the woman of his dreams, so his friend Anthonio guarantees a loan for him. But if he defaults, he'll owe Shylock a pound of his "fair flesh, to be cut off and taken in what part of your body it pleases me."

This "merry sport" soon turns deadly serious, and only Portia can save the day, the play, the hilarity.
