Audiolibro Measure for Measure

Measure for Measure is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603 or 1604 performed by Sir John Gielgud and cast.

Measure for Measure is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in 1603 or 1604. It was (and continues to be) classified as comedy, but its mood defy those expectations. As a result and for a variety of reasons, some critics have labeled it as one of Shakespeare's problem plays. Originally published in the First Folio of 1623 (where it was first labeled as a comedy), the play's first recorded performance was in 1604. The play deals with the issues of mercy, justice, and truth, and their relationship to pride and humility: "Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall".

The drama unfolds in a manner that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat, a testament to Shakespeare's top-notch storytelling. The play's exploration of mercy, justice, and truth, intertwined with themes of pride and humility, continues to resonate with audiences, securing its place among the best of Shakespeare's works.
