Measure for Measure
Director: Péter Rudolf
Angry comedy
Translated by Ádám Nádasdy
The Vígszínház version was produced by Hilda Hársing and Péter Rudolf
The city of Vienna is on the road to moral decay. The underworld is flourishing, brothels are proliferating, corruption and prostitution are rampant... There are strict laws, but they are neither applied nor enforced. The ruler, powerless, decides to give power to a man of pure morals and noble soul to restore the moral order. Shakespeare's last, not at all light-hearted comedy, with great political games, mad desires, buffoons and lots and lots of love.
