The Merchant of Venice broaches complex issues such as interfaith marriage, ethnicity, parent/child relations and racism, as well as “extreme” feelings like jealousy, envy, and greed. Can a children's version be created without oversimplifying or neutralizing its disturbing implications? Can it be put on its feet in the classroom? How can teachers develop practical work that honours Shakespeare while exploring this play's 'hard words'? What part might translation play?

These questions are addressed in Hard Words for Children: Shakespeare, Translation, and The Merchant of Venice, a two-day conference that presents a programme of academic papers alongside practical workshops. We consider 'translation' in its broadest meanings: language to language; medium to medium; text into performance, play into graphic novel, early modern 'Shakespeare' into post-modern demotic. This is a creative and participatory conference: it will give us tasks to do.
