Overview: ‘Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.’
Can one life be measured against another? Can a woman’s body be measured against a man’s life? Can consensual sex be measured against rape? Measure for Measure explores these questions through a series of substitutions: Angelo deputises for the Duke, who disguises himself to spy on his subjects; corrupt Angelo demands that almost-nun Isabella gives her body in exchange for her brother’s life; and the Duke substitutes living bodies and decapitated heads to bring about a ‘happy ending’ in this problematic comedy. Exploring corrupt power, state surveillance, and the silencing of women by powerful men, Measure for Measure continues to resonate today.
