...rate. Henry is the heart of the play. With nearly a third of the total lines. Henry is the fourth-longest role in all Shakespeare. Even though director Coe has pruned the text to yield two 75-minute acts. Henry's part remains mostly intact. So much depends on who plays...
...Christian morality pageant as Isabelle must choose between eternal life and her brother's fate. Shakespeare is working beyond those narrow confines. He focuses instead on Justice in the abstract with all its permutations and elasticity--be it the law of God or of man. Isabelle's refusal to yield to Angelo's desires condemns her brother to death and even in the context of 17th-century Christianity, it comes off as little more than brutality, and Angelo's subsequent breach of his promise, as he orders Claudio's execution, is utterly despicable.

The world--especially those nations which carry the terrible responsibility of its nuclear safe keeping--might do well to learn from the examples of their own history. There are times, both America and the Soviet Union know, when the old ties must be broken and the universal desire for freedom must triumph. The work of fostering that dream should be the business of all nations in the years ahead...
