Power corrupts. Mercy redeems. Justice hangs in the balance.

When the Duke of Vienna leaves his austere deputy, Angelo, in charge, a wave of harsh morality sweeps through the city. But Angelo’s carefully guarded facade begins to crack when he is confronted by a virtuous young novice who pleads for her brother’s life. Dangerous deception, power, and morality become tangled in a world where nothing is as it seems, and time is running out to uncover the truth and set things right. Measure for Measure is a bold exploration of justice, morality, and the gray area between right and wrong. Shakespeare’s sharpest social drama is shockingly relevant and endlessly compelling— told with wit, suspense, and Shakespeare’s signature poetry and insight into human nature.
