A spokesperson says---
"...In the play, the Duke leaves his deputy Angelo to rule the city, pitting the principled novice nun Isabella against the corrupt Angelo. Shifting the locale to the American South in the 1950s, and taking cultural and historical cues from this period, the central crux of this...comedy underlines the complicated nature of mercy, redemption, and survival under political corruption and hypocrisy..."
