'Language is his power. His characters are precisely the words they speak' A. S. Byatt.

A young man is sentenced to death for violating a law that prohibits sex outside of marriage. When his sister pleads with Lord Angelo to save him, he offers her a deal - her brother's life in exchange for her virginity. One of Shakespeare's most enigmatic plays, Measure for Measure is a morally complex drama filled with intricate maneuvers and counterattacks that explores illusion, justice, and the best and worst instincts of humanity.
