Theater148 min2019PG
Vienna is teeming with brothels and loose morality, but the Duke doesn't want to use his authority to clean up the city. He departs, dressed as a friar, leaving his deputy, Angelo, in charge. Angelo is at first reluctant, but he soon starts to make changes.
Why Watch This
“Directed by Gregory Doran, the production is celebrated for its laser-sharp focus on the play's moral complexities, drawing direct parallels to modern conversations about consent and institutional corruption. The staging relocates to Vienna in 1900, a world of grand palaces, decadent underworlds, and Freudian psychology, providing a perfect cultural backdrop for a play about power and desire.”
