Measure For Measure By William Shakespeare
Vincentio, the Duke of Vienna announces he is going on a diplomatic mission and places Angelo to govern to the letter of the law. He then disguises himself as a priest to observe how better he can govern.
Isabella rejects a tainted world and devotes her life to the church, only to be dragged out of a nunnery to save her brother accused of sexual misconduct.
Angelo has the power to save or slaughter but could be persuaded by Isabella which poses her with a moral conundrum.
After the success of their first production Reckless (London Theatre1 ****), Heady Conduct bring Shakespeare's dramatic comedy Measure For Measure to The Rose Playhouse, using their distinct mix of style and originality, utilising the genius of Shakespeare's writing to maximum effect.
Over four hundred years after its first performance Measure For Measure’s heady mix of hypocrisy, money, power, sex religion, justice and mercy continues to resonate in a world still battling with issues of compassion and fear.
