MEASURE 4 MEASURE
“To Who Should I complain? Who would believe me?”
With his city beset with brothels and loose morality, the Duke of Vienna must seek some divine intervention. In doing so, he hands over power to Lord Angelo, who enforces long-dormant codes of chastity with a zealous fervor. When a pious young nun pleads for the life of her condemned brother, Angelo’s response is surprisingly sensual, even to him- revealing a web of desire, deception, and hypocrisy that infects every corner of society.
Performed in rep with Twelfth Night.
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed/Rescripted by Mikey Mulhearn
