Walk Bankside, London View tickets Purchase with confidence A new
production of Measure for Measure, Shakespeares darkest comedy, comes
to light in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeares Globe this
Winter. Britain is a nation on a knife-edge. Increasing inflation,
surging unemployment, an energy catastrophe, identity crisis and
persistent political scandal. Its 1975. In London, the Duke abandons
the unravelling city, leaving authoritarian Angelo in power. When he
starts policing sexual freedom, Isabella is drawn from the safe space
of her convent to rescue her brother from death under the new laws.
Only his freedom comes at a price: her. What is she and society
willing to lose in the fight for justice? Blanche McIntyre (Hymn,
Almeida) directs Shakespeares exploration of the corruption of power
with razor-sharp wit and thrilling suspense. Important Info No
