by William Shakespeare , in a new production with Ronald Pickup as the Duke, Saskia Reeves as Isabella and John Shrapnel as Angelo. Vincentio realises that the moral climate of his dukedom has suffered through his laxity as a ruler. Rather than mend the problem himself, he leaves the scrupulous Angelo to close the brothels and prosecute fornicators. But Angelo soon shows his own frailty and directs his lust at the beautiful Isabella.
