A Shakespeare classic performed by HND Year 2 students from West Nottinghamshire College.
Vienna, a city of corruption and scandal. Laws are lax and crimes are unpunished; even the Duke cannot enforce his own rules. So, what is the Duke to do? He decides to give his power to Lord Angelo as part of a cunning plan! It is Angelo who must now enforce the city's neglected laws and face the wrath of the people.
When Angelo decides to make a harsh example of a young man named Claudio, the virtuous Isabella must plead for her brother's life but is the price Angelo demands worth paying?
Performed by a group of travelling actors and a very outspoken narrator, Shakespeare's dark comedy dives in to the secret lives of the rich and poor, exploring some less savoury elements of human nature.
