Blackstone Sound is proud to present the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s production of Measure for Measure, Shakespeare’s compelling tragicomedy that explores restraint-and absence thereof.

Who legislates morality?

The duke’s authoritarian deputy, Angelo, is hell-bent on stamping out moral decay. He reactivates obsolete draconian laws and aims his arrogant crosshairs at a young man whose fiancée is definitely pregnant, sentencing him to death. Angelo is sternly incorruptible-until he fits Isabela, a beautiful religious newbie whose desirability arouses him. Flavored with live music from the mariachi music group Todas las Colibri, this vigorous, modern production of Shakespeare’s tragicomedy reveals what can happen when sex, religion, and politics collide.
