Measure for Measure (Arkangel Shakespeare)
Puritanical Angelo finds his values changing as his lust for the virtuous Isabella sinks him into the corruption he condemns in others. This thought-provoking black comedy is a brilliant exploration of justice and mercy. Performed by Roger Allam, Simon Russell Beale, Stella Gonet, and the Arkangel cast.

| User Reviews |  | Pretty good, but where's Caedmon's classic recording?
rating: 3
As with most of the Arkangel Shakespeare, this is a very decently done performance, with some great acting. (The music, which is modern and a little sentimental, seems to me a mistake.) But as with all the Shakespeare, I'm a big believer in the Caedmon recordings from several decades ago, which feature simply amazing actors of the last generation: Sir Ralph Richardson, Sir John Gielgud, Hugh Griffith, Jeremy Brett, Vanessa Redgrave...the list goes on. The Arkangel recordings have a lot to offer, but we ought to have the option of listening to the classic recordings of these plays. Protest to Caedmon Music/Harper Collins today!

A controversial play
rating: 5
This play is controversial because of the bizarre behaviour of the Duke and other characters but this production is sublime! By all means get a hold of it and be surprised how funny it is. Enough said except that if I could do it over again, I would buy the complete series of S's plays.
