Duke Vincentio is taking a vacation from his duties, and he is leaving Angelo, his very upright and famously moral deputy in charge of the city. Angelo is surprised to find that his moral nature is not as inevitable as he believed, when he is confronted by Isabella who is pleading for her brother’s release from prison, and he takes a very nasty slide into a terrible abuse of his power. Surrounding this main plot are a motley crew of citizens of Vienna, who are navigating the laws of a city, and in their confusion provide some great comic relief. But is The Duke really gone? Has he set a trap for Angelo to test him? In this dark comedy about sex, justice, and morality we are left to ponder the nature of good and evil in all of us.
