The Sunday Play: Measure for Measure

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Saskia Reeves plays Isabella in William Shakespeare 's study of power and morality. When the Duke leaves Angelo in charge of his dukedom, he has no idea how his trust will be abused. Angelo, charged with the task of cleaning up vice in Vienna, promptly becomes its main instigator - with the beautiful Isabella in his sights.
Music by Stephen Warbeck Adaptor and director Peter Kavanagh Rpt
