How do I write a review on Shakespeare. Genius. Layer upon layer of meanings and symbols. Power, law, sex, humour, religion... you name it and it's all in this play.
Summary: A cunning duke pretends to leave town and leaves the highly moralistic Angelo in charge. The duke then spies on the town’s goings-on disguised as a friar and discovers some shocking abuses of power by Angelo.
The play offers insight into the age-old question of what the proper balance between justice and mercy is.
