When her brother falls foul of the state’s rigid morality laws, Isabella is sent to plead for his life in Shakespeare's razor-sharp thriller of hypocrisy and corruption. ‘To whom should I complain? Who would believe me?’ If you knew you could get away with a crime - would you commit it? Shakespeare’s razor-sharp thriller, directed by Emily Burns (Love’s Labour’s Lost, 2024) is brought up to date in a heart-racing, relevant new version. This Measure for Measure is unmissable theatre with its finger on the pulse of what it means to expose lies, abuse and, ultimately, the truth.
