What it's about
The Duke of Vienna hands power to the strict Angelo and stays in the city disguised as a friar; Angelo condemns a young man to death for fornication, then offers to spare him if his sister Isabella, a novice nun, will sleep with him. A dark comedy about justice, hypocrisy and mercy.
