Measure for Measure, presented by Washington University, is touted as one of Shakespeare's most confounding and “problem plays.” Through the characters of Angelo and Isabella, a battle is waged between justice and mercy. Shakespeare has crafted a play as justice; the nature of power and the need for self-knowledge; the relationship between men and women; and the definition of gender roles and human sexuality – none of these questions appears to be answered definitively by the close of the play. It is its very ambiguity that makes Measure for Measure such a powerful allegory for our time.
