What happens when government rule is driven by religious and social mores? Measure for Measure resonates as loudly today as when Shakespeare asked that question over 400 years ago. As if torn form current headlines, this complex and compelling tale explores themes of moral hypocrisy and abuse of power as a righteous politician’s career falls apart due to ethical and sexual scandals.
