Measure for Measure written by William Shakespeare performed by Sir John Gielgud, Margaret Leighton and Sir Ralph Richardson on Cassette (Unabridged)

This is one of Shakespeare's so-called black comedies. This thought-provoking play poses the stark question: when a young woman is offered the choice of saving a man's life at the price of her own chastity, what should she do?

The play answers the question - and several more - in a merry and profound way.

This full-cast, fully-dramatised rendition is directed by Peter Wood.
