Trapped in a world where authority goes unchecked and power is abused, Isabella is given a nefarious proposition by the powerful Angelo: her brother's life for her virginity. Left with nothing but her courage and cunning, Isabella must choose between succumbing to Angelo or fighting against the corruption she faces.
William Shakespeare deftly balances this compelling tragicomedy with the absurdly humorous and the tragically serious, as Silicon Valley Shakespeare shows how this tale is more relevant than ever in an age where many can still say, "Me too."
Experience live, outdoor theatre under the stars with Silicon Valley Shakespeare's Saratoga summer residency. 'Measure for Measure,' directed by Doll Piccotto, runs in repertory with Jane Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility,' adapted by Kate Hamill and directed by Angie Higgins.
$20-$50, Children 17 and under are free with paying adult.
Presented by Silicon Valley Shakespeare.
