ACT I
Scene 1. Duke Vincentio prepares to leave Vienna and appoints Angelo as his deputy and Escalus as
his advisor.
Scene 2. Mistress Overdone tells Lucio how Angelo has decreed that all brothels in the suburbs of
Vienna be demolished. Claudio passes by on his way to prison where, within three days, he is to be
executed; his fault—that he has made his lover Juliet pregnant. Having explained that he is the victim
of Angelo’s reforming zeal, he asks Lucio to find his sister Isabella, and to enlist her help in appealing
for mercy from the deputy.
Scene 3. The Duke reveals to Friar Thomas that he has invented a trip to Poland as an excuse for
putting Angelo in power. He hopes that his righteous deputy will reform the loose morals of the
populace. He plans to monitor events, disguised as a friar.
Scene 4. Lucio finds Isabella at the convent she is about to enter as a novice, and tells her of her
brother’s arrest; he begs her to approach Angelo.

William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare is the world's greatest ever playwright. Born in 1564, he split his time between Stratford-upon-Avon and London, where he worked as a playwright, poet and actor. In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway. Shakespeare died in 1616 at the age of fifty-two, leaving three children—Susanna, Hamnet and Judith. The rest is silence.
