William Shakespeare

Measure for Measure

eBook (Adamant Media Corporation July 30, 2001)
Sex, prohibition of sex, and a tangle of assumed identities fuel Shakespeare's rendition of this old Italian comedy. Duke Vincentio of Vienna appoints Angelo to enforce the land's forgotten statutes, remaining in the city, disguised as a friar, to observe his deputy's actions. The arrest of Claudio for seducing his own fiancée, Juliet - in violation of a long-ignored law against premarital fornication - leads to a succession of romantic foibles and robust political hijinks.
