Measure for Measure is widely considered to be a 'dark' comedy by William Shakespeare. It follows a young novitiate in Vienna, whose brother is the victim of an unexpected crackdown on an old and largely ignored law. As she attempts to beg for his life, she discovers a judicial system that has more to do with vengeance than justice. Measure examines sexual politics through a particularly gendered lens, and asks: when faced with corruption of power, how do we fix broken systems?
