Often considered one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", MEASURE FOR MEASURE follows the Duke of Vienna as he tries to clean up his town that has seen a gradual decline in law and decorum. Re-contextualized to a small southern town somewhere between Jena and Jasper, MEASURE FOR MEASURE tackles, in comedic fashion, the issues of hypocrisy in government, domestic espionage, and moral ambiguity.
