Measure for Measure at Richard Goad Theatre

Prostitution, piety and politics come together in Measure for Measure, one of Shakespeare's darkest -- and most delectable -- comedies. The Duke's stand-in, Angelo, terrorizes Vienna with his overly strict moral codes -- including a ban on all fornication. When he sentences a young man, Claudio, to death for impregnating his own girlfriend before marriage, Claudio's sister, Isabella, pleads for her brother's life. Charmed by her beauty, Angelo presents Isabella with a shocking proposition -- but just how far will Isabella go to save her brother's life? See this thrilling production when it takes the stage of the Long Beach Shakespeare Company's Richard Goad Theatre.
