The city\u2019s ruler has installed Angelo, a \u201ctough-on-crime\u201d deputy who resurrects dormant laws to curb the sexually permissive culture erupting throughout the city. When a pious nun begs mercy from Angelo for her condemned brother, he makes her a perverse bargain: surrender her body to him, or her brother to the gallows. Funny, audacious, and shockingly modern, \u201cMeasure for Measure\u201d is a tale of political corruption, religious hypocrisy and the surprising measures a society must take to rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>Performances of \u201cMeasure for Measure\u201d will run Feb. 22 through Feb. 24 and March 1 through March 3 at 7:30 p.m. in J Studio of the Fine Arts Center at 105 Upper College Road on the Kingston Campus, with additional showings Feb. 25 and March 4 at 2 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>General admission is $20, and $15 for students, 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty and staff, and seniors.
