Shakespeare We can only imagine what this 2007 technologically aware production of Measure for Measure would have been like in the Twitter age:

"The most effective evidence that ISF's Measure for Measure is set in today's electronic age is that the characters carried Blackberries and cell phones. Lucio, for example, conveyed information about the Duke's supposed journeys because he was able to pull it up on his Blackberry. He used his internet connection to inform the Duke (disguised as the Friar) of his [the Duke's] own "travels": "Some say he is with the emperor of Russia" (3.2.85). Lucio also used his Blackberry to snap a picture of Mariana at her unveiling in the final scene. More chillingly, his Blackberry showed Isabella confirmation that her brother had been scheduled for execution (1.4.73-4)."

"Oh knows, he's closin de brothels. What'll I do now? #angelofail"
