Featuring a lively, Mardi Gras setting, “Measure for Measure” opens as vice is running rampant in the city.  The Duke has set off on mysterious business, leaving the affairs of state to his trusted minister, Angelo, with instructions to enforce discipline as he sees fit. Quickly, Angelo takes that enforcement to extremes, and when young Claudio is arrested it falls to Claudio’s friend Lucio to send help in the form of young novice, Isabella. When the price of Angelo’s freedom is not what Isabella is willing to pay, the Duke comes up with a plan to save Claudio while revealing Angelo’s hypocrisy.

The Shakespeare by the Sea XXXIII production of “Measure for Measure” takes place July 6- 9 and 13 – 16 at the Seabreeze Amphitheater in Carlin Park, located at 750 South, Florida A1A, Jupiter, FL 33477.
