RSC Live: Measure For Measure
Drama A woman of faith faces a corrupt patriarchal system in director Gregory Doran's provocative staging of Shakespeare's battle of the sexes, which is broadcast live from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon. Appalled by the immorality in Vienna, Duke Vincentio withdraws from public life, relinquishing the day-to-day running of his domain to puritanical deputy Angelo. In his elevated position, Angelo zealously follows the letter of the law and condemns nobleman Claudio to death.
