About the Book

Telling his followers he is leaving the city on affairs of state, the Duke of Vienna appoints the puritanical Angelo to govern in his absence. Will Angelo prove as virtuous as he seems once power is in his hands? Roaming the city disguised as a friar, the duke looks on as Angelo's lust for the virtuous Isabella sweeps him into the corruption he has so sternly condemned in others. The duke's manipulation at last produces a happy ending for this dark comedy, with its brilliant exploration of the themes of justice and mercy. Roger Allam plays the duke and Simon Russell Beale is Angelo. Isabella is played by Stella Gonet.

About the Author :
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) wrote thirty-seven plays. King Lear and Macbeth are widely considered his finest and most popular. They are, perhaps, the most frequently produced works on the planet. E. A. Copen is a coffee addict living in southern Kentucky with her cats and books. When she's not writing, she enjoys cooking and watching just about everything but romantic comedies (unless there are zombies in them). She's been a film school dropout, a professional puppeteer, and retail rebel, all of which allowed her to develop a cynical sense of humor. She is also an unapologetic nerd and occasional enjoyer of comic books and anime. She is a prolific writer of inclusive, action-oriented urban fantasy, horror, and science fiction. Several of her novels have been Amazon bestsellers. Tom Wheelwright es Contador Público Autorizado y la fuerza creativa detrás de WealthAbility, el movimiento de Riqueza libre de impuestos más importante del mundo, que sirve a empresarios e inversores a nivel mundial. Como fundador y CEO, Tom ha sido responsable de revolucionar los servicios de consultoría y estrategias fiscales, empresariales y de riqueza para clientes premium durante casi 30 años. Tom es un experto en estrategias fiscales para sociedades y corporaciones, un conocido orador y un innovador en educación financiera. Robert T. Kiyosaki, autor bestseller de Padre Rico, Padre Pobre, se refiere a Tom como "un jugador que cualquiera que quiera ser rico necesita tener en su equipo". Ha sido colaborador de Robert T. Kiyosaki en varios de sus libros. Tom tiene una maestría en Contabilidad Profesional por la Universidad de Texas y una licenciatura en Artes por la Universidad de Utah. Simon Russell Beale is an award-winning stage actor and recipient of numerous accolades, including the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor and the 2000 Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical. He is an associate of the National Theatre and the Almeida Theatre in London and an associate artist at the Royal Shakespeare Company. His audiobook narrations have won eight AudioFile Earphones Awards. Stella Gonet has worked extensively in theater. Among her many key roles are Titania and Isabella for the Royal Shakespeare Company and Roxanne in Cyrano de Bergerac and Ophelia in Hamlet at the National Theatre. She has also read several roles for Naxos AudioBooks. Jonathan Firth is a British actor and younger brother of actor Colin Firth. Jonathan has performed in radio, theater, and film but is more prominently featured on television. His credits include Middlemarch and Far from the Maddening Crowd, among others. Roger Allam played Javert in the original London production of Les Misérables and Falstaff in the Shakespeare's Globe 2010 production of Henry IV Parts 1 and 2. He has been nominated four times for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor, winning twice, and he has also won the Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actor. His film work includes roles in The Queen, Speed Racer, V for Vendetta, The Wind That Shakes the Barley, Tamara Drewe, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and the television series The Thick of It. He has narrated audiobooks for numerous bestselling authors, including Jeffrey Archer, Ian McEwan, Ian Rankin, and Joseph Conrad. Roger lives in southwest London with his wife, actress Rebecca Saire, and their two young sons. Stephen Mangan graduated from London's RADA after studying law at Cambridge University. He spent several years in regional theater, playing in classics such as The Tempest, Twelfth Night, and Hamlet, and his successful seasons with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the touring company Cheek By Jowl earned him a nomination for the Ian Charleson award for his roles as Sir Benjamin Backbite in The School for Scandal and Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing. He became a regular face in London's West End in plays such as Hay Fever and Noises Off, but 2001 marked his breakthrough TV role as the eponymous character in the six-part BBC TV adaptation of Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole: The Cappuccino Years. Stephen has also appeared on screen as Dr. Guy Secretan in the TV comedy series Green Wing and has gone on to play a number of similarily self-obsessed characters on film such as Sean Sullivan in Festival and Josef in Confetti, a film which was wholly improvised.

Review :
"I do not know any other eminent work of Western literature that is nearly as nihilistic as Measure for Measure, a comedy that destroys comedy." -- "Harold Bloom, world-renowned literary critic" "It brings before us a group of persons, attractive, full of desire...Behind this group of people, behind their various action, Shakespeare inspires in us the sense of a strong tyranny of nature and circumstance." -- "Walter Pater, essayist, art critic, and fiction writer"
