RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the channel Islands for the next of his regular audio described theatre reviews.

This week we are back at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon  again as Vidar reviews Emily Burns’ bold and contemporary production of Shakespeare’s tale of justice and morality ‘Measure for Measure’ with description by Professional Audio Describers Gethyn Edwards and Carolyn Smith.

About ‘Measure for Measure’

‘To whom should I complain? Who would believe me?’

If you knew you could get away with a crime - would you commit it? Shakespeare’s razor-sharp thriller, directed by Emily Burns (Love’s Labour’s Lost, 2024) is brought up to date in a heart-racing, relevant new version. This Measure for Measure is unmissable theatre with its finger on the pulse of what it means to expose lies, abuse and, ultimately, the truth.
