Measure for Measure Audiobook (Free)

Blackstone Sound is proud to present the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s creation of Measure for Measure, Shakespeare’s compelling tragicomedy that explores restraint-and lack thereof.

Who legislates morality?

The duke’s authoritarian deputy, Angelo, is hell-bent on stamping out moral decay. He reactivates out-of-date draconian laws and regulations and aims his arrogant crosshairs at a young guy whose fiancée is certainly pregnant, sentencing him to loss of life. Angelo is definitely sternly incorruptible-until he meets Isabela, a lovely religious newbie whose desirability arouses him. Flavored with live music by the mariachi band Las Colibri, this strenuous, modern creation of Shakespeare’s tragicomedy reveals what can occur when sex, religion, and politics collide.
