Measure for Measure is among the most passionately discussed of Shakespeare’s plays. In it, a duke temporarily removes himself from governing his city-state, deputizing a member of his administration, Angelo, to enforce the laws more rigorously. Angelo chooses as his first victim Claudio, condemning him to death because he impregnated Juliet before their marriage.

This production aired on February 1st, 2004, on BBC Radio 3, featuring a talented cast including Chiwetel Ejiofor as the Duke and Clive Swift as Escalus. The direction by Claire Grove brings a fresh perspective to this timeless drama, exploring themes of justice, morality, and the complexities of human relationships.
