Measure for Measure explores themes of justice, morality, and desire in Shakespeare's complex narrative. When the Duke of Vienna goes missing, his strict deputy Angelo takes over, determined to enforce the law and eliminate vice. However, his moral rigidity is put to the test when he propositions a young woman's sister in exchange for her brother's life. Directed by Vivienne Benesch, this production delves into the power dynamics at play, questioning the true nature of virtue and authority.
