Each No Fear guide contains the complete text of the original play along with a line-by-line translation, a complete list of characters, and plenty of helpful commentary. This dark comedy, set in Verona, explores virtue and sin. Claudio has been arrested for getting his mistress pregnant--and Angelo, the strict, morality-spouting judge, has sentenced him to death.
