Measure for Measure
Description
Shakespeare’s dark comedy is an exploration of how human actions are guided by one’s deepest fears and faults, and asks “what happens to a society when women’s voices are silenced?”
Decadent Vienna is in turmoil after decades of societal upheaval, and the Duke has abruptly gone AWOL, leaving his faithful deputy, Angelo, in charge. Determined to put an end to moral corruption, Angelo decides to restore order, using an iron fist to uphold repressive laws. When a young man is sentenced to death, his sister Isabella pleads to Angelo for her brother's life. Angelo then puts Isabella in an untenable position, hypocritically subverting his own Puritanical rules in the process.
