The Cheek by Jowl production of Measure for Measure from 2016 - in Russian - dispenses with some of the comic characters to intensify its focus on the Duke. The setting for the Royal Shakespeare Company production of the play, from 2019, is 19th-century Vienna - lush and oppressive. It is fascinating to see how two top directing and design teams shake, shape and stir this great play – in which Isabella pronounces one of Shakespeare’s greatest speeches.
