Would you sacrifice your soul to save your brother's life? Pacific Theatre is proud to present The Honest Fishmongers' production of Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare. A surprisingly contemporary tale of scandal, abuse of power, and the balance of justice and grace that arises when Vienna's Duke takes an unexplained leave of absence, leaving a power-hungry steward, Angelo, in his place. With a set of ruthless morality laws still in the books, Angelo uses them to his advantage, ultimately forcing a young nun into a terrible ultimatum: her soul for her brother's life.

The only female writer he was willing to bend his misogynistic rule for? Virginia Woolf. In the weeks that have followed these statements, prestigious highbrow literary awards have been handed to Eleanor Catton, Lynn Coady, and Alice Munro. It is thus with exquisite timing that the Bloomsbury Collective brings to Toronto an exclusive run of A Room of One's Own, a re-enactment and Patrick Garland's adaptation of Virginia Woolf's landmark speech from 1928.
