Measure for Measure does not fit into the mold of other Shakespearean works. The plot centers on Angelo, the righteous deputy empowered by the Duke of Vienna to rule the citizenry while he wanders about disguised as a friar to investigate the moral decay of his dukedom. Resorting to an archaic law against fornication to enforce his strict standards of morality, Angelo proceeds to condemn bawds and fornicators to death. One of these fornicators is Claudio a young man who has had premarital sex with his fiancee. When Claudio's virginal sister Isabella comes to plead for her brother's life, Angelo's lust is aroused. Worse still his moral spine is so wobbly that he uses his power to blackmail Isabella into his bed. It's her virtue or Claudio's life. The play explores the serious issues of the abuses of power, authority and morality. Not suitable for children under 10.
