In this adaptation of William Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure' set in Melbourne's notorious commission flats, the story follows the lives of several characters whose paths intersect in a complex web of love, loyalty, and justice.
At the heart of the plot is Angelo, a ruthless and corrupt deputy premier of Victoria who has been given temporary authority to enforce strict laws in the commission flats. Angelo is known for his harsh and uncompromising approach to crime, aiming to clean up the area at any cost.
One of the main characters is Claudio, a young man who has been sentenced to death by Angelo for getting his girlfriend Juliet pregnant before they were married. Claudio's sister, Isabella, a devout novice, visits Angelo to plead for her brother's life. Angelo, captivated by Isabella's beauty, proposes a vile deal: he will spare Claudio's life if Isabella agrees to sleep with him.
Meanwhile, another key character, Lucio, a charismatic and street-smart friend of Claudio, becomes aware of Angelo's corruption and seeks to expose him. Lucio encounters Escalus, a respected judge who is torn between loyalty to Angelo and his conscience. Together, they devise a plan to uncover Angelo's true nature and bring justice to the commission flats.
As the story unfolds, Isabella is faced with a moral dilemma. She must decide whether to sacrifice her virtue to save her brother's life or uphold her religious beliefs, even if it means his death. With the help of a wise and eccentric brothel owner, Mistress Overdone, Isabella navigates her way through a series of moral tests and unexpected alliances.
Meanwhile, in the midst of these intricate plots, the city is brought to life through vibrant and diverse characters who add depth and complexity to the story. Among them are Pompey, a witty and resourceful pimp known for his sharp tongue, and Mariana, Angelo's abandoned fiancée, who plays a crucial role in the plan to expose his corruption.
As the climax approaches, tensions rise, and the characters' lives intertwine in a thrilling and dramatic finale. Loyalties are tested, secrets are revealed, and justice hangs in the balance. In the end, Measure for Measure explores the timeless themes of power, morality, and redemption, while shedding light on the realities of life in Melbourne's commission flats.
