Declan Donnellan discusses Isabella in Measure for Measure

A corrupt government policing a chaotic city's convents, prisons and brothels... Cheek by Jowl's Measure for Measure, through "a series of swiftly changing spectacular scenes" (Teatral) explodes as "a real thriller, piercing the heart of the entire audience" (Mir 24).

I love hearing Declan speak about Shakespeare and theatre in general. He is always so insightful.

Isabella may be frightened by "certain aspects of life" but one of them is surely a abusive monarch; wait--make that 2 abusive monarchs

shame is an incredibly useful tool to discipline people

[@uncatila]

without shame there is no humiliation. without humiliation there is no exercise of humility. since i must be humble to become wise please be cruel so as to be kind.
