Seventeenth Century Vienna is mired in vice and its Duke is at his wits end. He retreats for a time and installs the sanctimonious Angelo as caretaker leader. To make Vienna clean again, Angelo restores the fornication law. First to fall foul of this hastily reinstated rule is Claudio. Claudio’s girlfriend is ‘with child’ and as they’re not married, Claudio now must be punished by death. Claudio’s sister, Isabella, is pure and chaste and ready to take holy vows as a nun. She beseeches Angelo to spare her beloved brother. Angelo agrees, but only if Isabella sacrifices her virginity and vocation for him. Will she?
