Dark, complex, and morally charged, Measure for Measure is one of Shakespeare's most challenging and thought-provoking plays. Set in a Vienna riddled with corruption and vice, the play explores justice, mercy, hypocrisy, and power. When the Duke pretends to leave the city and hands control to the strict Angelo, a young woman's life is caught in the balance - and questions of truth, virtue, and morality take centre stage.
