MEASURE FOR MEASURE

In the city of Vienna sin has run rampant...

But when long-time ruler Duke Vincentio charges the "incorruptible," Angelo with cleaning up the city a tragic train of events will be set in motion.
Angelo sentences a young man called Claudio to death for the crime of having a child out of wedlock; Claudio's sister, the virtuous Isabella,
comes to plead her brother's case and appears to succeed. But for Angelo Isabella's very goodness becomes an inescapable snare, and he is
driven to ever greater lengths in an effort to possess her...

Dark and surprisingly modern, Measure for Measure is one of Shakespeare's least performed and most fascinating plays. Mixing dark humour
with pathos and passion, it examined the ambiguity of the human condition and the fragility of goodness in a world without grace.
