Measure for Measure

Trapped in a world where authority goes unchecked and power is abused, Isabella is given a nefarious proposition by the powerful Angelo — her brother’s life for her virginity. Left with nothing but her courage and cunning, Isabella faces a choice: succumb to Angelo or fight against the corruption she faces. William Shakespeare deftly balances this compelling tragicomedy with the absurdly humorous and the tragically serious, as Silicon Valley Shakespeare presents how this tale is more relevant than ever in an age where many can sadly say, “Me too.” Measure for Measure runs in repertory with Silicon Valley Shakespeare’s production of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, adapted by Kate Hamill.
