About Measure for Measure
Measure for Measure is one of Shakespeare’s ‘problem plays’, meaning that it incorporates aspects of both tragedy and comedy. It begins with the Duke of Vienna taking a leave of absence from the city and appointing a well-respected man named Angelo to rule in his stead, in the hopes that Angelo will enforce the city’s laws more strictly. However, it soon becomes apparent that Angelo is not as morally upright as he seems, as he attempts to use his position to coerce a young woman named Isabella, who hopes to enter a convent, into sleeping with him in order to save her brother’s life.

William Shakespeare is generally considered one of the greatest playwrights in history. He was born in 1564 in the English town of Stratford-upon-Avon, and produced more than 30 plays during his lifetime, in addition to many works of poetry. His works are still frequently performed around the world today, more than 400 years after his death in 1616, and have been translated into every major language.
