Abstract
The trickiest sort of play - a comedy with tragic relief. Cruel Angelo is left in charge of Vienna when the Duke pretends to leave town. Angelo revives an old law against fornication and sentences Claudio to death for seducing Juliet, Claudio’s betrothed. Claudio’s sister, Isabella, pleads for his life and Angelo offers to spare him in exchange for her virginity. Angelo’s corruption and severity are punished when the Duke reveals that he has witnessed it all. The New York Times writes, "Kate Nelligan is the image of idealized faultlessness as Isabella... 'Measure' works splendidly and the fluid touch of director Desmond Davis serves it well."
