DESCRIPTION:
The Full Measure of Forgiveness Ricardo Mio Written amidst Shakespeare's tragedies, "Measure For Measure" is the Bard's last comedy and perhaps his darkest. In all Shakespearean comedy, conflict, villainy, or immorality disrupt the moral order, but harmony ultimately prevails. Not so with this comedy. As one critic has it, "Measure" leaves playgoers with many questions and few answers. Or does it? More about that in a moment. First, about the title. It's from the Bible. In the Old Testament there's "breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth f. O but to die, / and go we know O but to die,/ and go we know not where,/ to lie in cold obstruction--and to rot.The fate of us all. What a line!. M. J. Christensen said Terrible Formatting. As others have mentioned, the Kindle formatting for this play is atrocious. The words are not centered on the page and so not all the words are visible and a character's name is not next to his lines. Skip this version until corrections are made. The play itself gets five stars.
The duke's manipulation at last produces a happy ending for this dark comedy, with its brilliant exploration of the themes of justice and mercy.. Isabella is played by Stella Gonet. Will Angelo prove as virtuous as he seems once power is in his hands? Roaming the city disguised as a friar, the duke looks on as Angelo's lust for the virtuous Isabella sweeps him into the corruption he has so sternly condemned in others. Telling his followers he is leaving the city on affairs of state, the Duke of Vienna appoints the puritanical Angelo to govern in his absence. Roger Allam plays the duke and Simon Russell Beale is Angelo. Full-Cast Audio Theater Dramatization

He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Engli
