Emily Burns directs Shakespeare's razor-sharp thriller of hypocrisy and corruption.
When her brother falls foul of the state’s rigid morality laws, Isabella is sent to plead for his life. But a world of ambition and base appetite lurks behind the high idealism of public office, and soon the complex relationship between power and private citizen threatens to end her life as she knows it.
Casting includes Emily Benjamin as Mariana / Francisca, Valentine Hanson as Friar Peter, Miya James as Juliet / Angelo's assistant, Natasha Jayetileke as Provost, Douggie McMeekin as Lucio, Oli Higginson as Claudio, Adam James as Duke Vincentio, Kaffe Keating as Camera Operator, and Tom Mothersdale as Angelo.
