Measure for Measure

Synopsis

Television series. Michael Bogdanov, associate director at the National Theatre leads a group of NT actors through aspects of Shakespeare’s plays in front of an interrogative and lively audience. Bogdanov questions whether the play is a dated piece about a woman’s dilemma over her virtue, or whether it is more properly about ‘a sinister chain of procurement’.
