The great Royal Shakespeare Company, returns to Girona at the Temporada Alta Festival with a tragicomedy directed by Gregory Doran.
The mythical Royal Shakespeare Company presents one of Shakespeare's darkest pieces and, at the same time, one of the most relevant today: Measure for measure. The play, a blunt criticism of rulers, explains the story of Lieutenant Angelo, who, determined to deal with the licentiousness of the town, condemns a young gentleman to death for impregnating his fiancee out of wedlock. A tragic and subversive comedy about justice, morality and sexual desire. Gregory Doran, one of the great Shakespeare experts of his generation, has moved the action to Vienna before the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Vienna of Freud, Klimt and Mahler.
