Can Someone get me the bit of when BASSANIO chooses a casketcoz there is a quote in it which i need for my essay. k thanks

Morocco is not black, and should not be played as "black" (all P.C. concerns aside).
Morocco is (strangely enough) from Morocco and is a "tawny" skinned arabic character. He is not exactly a womans -lib type.

it's called hi-jab :D ..
and no she must not wear any thing .. but the boy is the one who suppose to wear the sultan wear ..but still good acting ..really good acting & poor Portia afraid that he'll choose the correct casket then her love will be in danger !

Interesting interpretation of Morocco.
Sort of a comic-pathetic, female oppressive(will he insist she wear a ji-hab?), arabic sultan-type(if you will)....
Beautiful actress playing Portia. She loathes Morocco...but has no choice but to abide by her father's wishes.

It's... Monty Python's Merchant of Venice!
This Prince of Morocco is really weird and this is the version where Portia seems most distraught. Very different from the usual portrayal.

@joyleng I thought I'd work with the actress to portray what Portia would actually be feeling if this stranger whom she doesn't love would marry her.

Um, actually Morocco is more arabic than African. The play describes him as 'tawny'which is more yellowish-brown. that said, do you cast an actor solely on the color of their skin? I saw a magnificent African American play Claudius to a white King Hamlet. And besides, how did you ever hear how the voice was supposed to sound? I don't recall any recordings from the 1600s...but maybe I'm wrong.
