Résumé
Dans une Vienne décadente, la jeune Isabella ne rêve que du couvent le plus austère pour s’y cloîtrer, tandis qu’Angelo, l’homme au sang de glace, devenu gouverneur de la ville par intérim, ne rêve que de pureté. Il est chargé de débarrasser la ville de ses bordels et de sa corruption. L’exercice de son pouvoir l’entraîne à condamner le frère d’Isabella à être décapité pour avoir engrossé sa fiancée. Mais, lorsque Isabella vient plaider auprès de lui la cause de son frère, Angelo s’enflamme du désir le plus ardent pour la froide nonne…Par ses ambiguïtés et l’opacité de ses silences, Mesure pour mesure est l’œuvre dont chaque mise en scène dévoile des sens latents, élucide d’apparentes contradictions pour en révéler une nouvelle problématique : celle d’une œuvre déjà résolument moderne en 1604.

William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He began his successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. His early plays were comedies and histories, considered some of the best in these genres. In 1623, a more definitive collection of his works known as the First Folio was published. Shakespeare was born to a successful glover and educated at the King's New School in Stratford. He married Anne Hathaway and had three children. Shakespeare's plays were performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, making him a wealthy man. He continued to act in his own plays and collaborated with other playwrights. Shakespeare's last three plays were collaborations, and he retired to Stratford before his death. His work has had a lasting impact on theatre and literature, and he is considered a genius and a classic of the German Weimar era. There have been doubts about the authorship of his works, but they are considered fringe theories.
