Measure for Measure

After the critically acclaimed success of their first production, RECKLESS, Heady Conduct are proud to be an official partner of SHAKESPEARE400 and present MEASURE FOR MEASURE, Shakespeare’s dramatic tragi-comedy at The Rose Playhouse.

Vienna has fallen into disarray, decadence and debauchery after decades of corrupt rule, with justice turning a blind eye. A chaotic city, full of hot heads and hot beds, driven by an alluring beat. The Duke has fled, appointing the cool headed, cold hearted Angelo to make things right. When Angelo sentences Claudio to death for breaking the law on his watch, Claudio's virtuous sister Isabella is dragged from the nunnery to help. Angelo’s autocracy begins to waver in the face of the enigmatic Isabella. Purity has never looked so good.
