Measure for Measure
The ARTS at Marks Garage
Honolulu, HI
A dark comedy of justice, mercy, corruption, hypocrisy, purity, power and sexual attraction and set in the ultra-religious near-future.
Duke Vincentio transfers his powers and duties to his deputy, Angelo, in order that the people fear and detest him for cleaning up the town's prostitution rather than the Duke. The Duke leaves town and plans to watch the proceedings by posing as a friar. Angelo using harsh judgment insists that Claudio be executed for impregnating his fiancee. Isabella, a novice of the church arrives and begs Angelo to spare her brother. Charmed by her grace and virtue, Angelo decides to free Claudio if she sleeps with him.
The play focuses on the characters' struggle with their choices between good and evil, and how they interpret religious teachings to justify their decisions of what is right and wrong.
