A wonderful modern interpretation. Duke Vincentio appoints Lord Angelo as his deputy to rule in his absence. Vienna has recently become loose in its moral behaviour. Angelo attempts to turn the city around with his strict enforcement of the laws against immorality. This results in imprisonment and a death sentence for Claudio, since his fiancé, Juliet, is pregnant. Lucio, a friend, takes this news to the convent where Isabella, Claudio’s sister, is about to become a nun. Fearing for her brother, Isabella decides at once to seek mercy from Angelo.
