About the Show

Shakespeare's problem play explores a broken justice system built by men and offers battle of wills between two people who claim to be guided by faith in a Vienna dominated by egos, idols, and debauchery.

From the show:

The Duke of Vienna vanishes abruptly leaving Lord Angelo as his successor. In his stead, Angelo enacts his own sense of justice causing mass chaos throughout the city. The only person who can stop him now is a nun-in-training, named Isabella. A story of power, those who abuse it, and those who suffer at their hands. Does this sound familiar?
