Richmond Shakespeare Society present Measure for Measure

From 20 to 27 January, the Richmond Shakespeare Society will present Measure for Measure at the Mary Wallace Theatre. 

This will be a a modern-dress production of Shakespeare's most enigmatic and rarely performed play. Hotel owner, Vincentio, takes a sabbatical, leaving his deputy, Angelo, in charge, instructing him to maintain strict standards of behaviour and morality in his absence.

Abusing his new-found power, Angelo blackmails young Isabella with the threatened execution of her brother. "Is this her fault or mine? The tempter or the tempted, who sins most?"

Performances take place at 7.45pm. On Sunday 21 January, there will be a Matinee at 3pm.
