“Measure for Measure” is unique amongst Shakespeare’s catalogue of work: It is a Dark-Comedy. It deals with serious issues; but, unlike the tragedies where everyone dies in the end, in this story the lovers come together.
Synopsis: The Duke is unmarried, but has an exemplary heir and assistant in his distant cousin, Angelo. But is Angelo all he seems to be? Duke Vincentio devises a plan to find out. He gives Angelo his own dukely authority while Vincentio pretends to leave the country on political business. Instead the Duke disguises himself as a priest both to walk among the people and to keep an eye on Angelo.
