CloseSome rise by Sin
And some by Virtue fall.
In the bombed out rubble and moral confusion of post war Vienna comes a production of one of Shakespeare’s darkest and most human plays. The city is falling apart and the Duke leaves his seemingly spotless deputy Angelo in charge to try and bring some discipline to the madness, and to see if Angelo is as perfect as he seems. Into this world of dangerous power comes Isabella, religious and innocent. She hopes to save her brother from execution by Angelo’s harsh new rules. But if the price to pay for her brother’s freedom is her virginity and honour then should she give them up? When no one is what they seem and sex and death fester under the surface of law and order, who is there to turn to?
Warwick University Drama Society brings you a beautiful and shocking play that explores our darkest desires and the lengths that we will go to get them.
