In this production of Measure for Measure, The Olde School Shakespeare Collective brought the audience into the story of a religious community in crisis. The leader abandoned them and left the stringent Angelo in his place. His brutal attempt to eliminate debauchery ignites the community in a counter-quest for justice led by the purest soul of all, Isabella. When Shakespeare wrote the story, he was inspired by the Catholic reign in Vienna.
