It's the anniversary of both Shakespeare's birthday and death day April 23rd. In celebration we present our radio adaptation of one of Shakespeare's most intriguing and timely plays, Measure For Measure. Measure For Measure is Shakespeare's #Me Too play: a young woman about to enter a nunnery learns of her brother's impending death for out-of-marriage fornication; but the hypocritical Lord Angelo will only spare him if the sister will sleep with him. When she threatens to tell the world about his hypocrisy, he says, "Who will believe you?"
