Associate producer for RSC live to cinemas, Measure for measure 2019

Introduction

‘To whom should i complain’

When a young novice nun is compromised by a corrupt official, who offers to save her brother from execution in return for sex, she has no idea where to turn for help. When she threatens to expose him, he tells her that no one would believe her.

Artistic Director Gregory Doran transports the drama to 1900s Vienna where a ‘glittering waltz-time world gives way to a portrait of public hypocrisy’ (Guardian) in this ‘excitingly simple and vivid’ (The Times) take on one of Shakespeare’s most astonishingly resonant plays.
