Measure for Measure
Check the behind the scenes section, the revision history and discussion page for additional comments on this article's title.
A play written by William Shakespeare featured Angelo and Isabella as characters.
Isabella was a nun and the object of Angelo's "obsessive lust". Cleo Proctor had to do a Shakespeare monologue for her end-of-year showcase and initially chose one by Isabella. However, during the auditions her lecturer stopped her mid-speech, having heard enough. She suggested that Cleo might not be suitable for the role as Isabella had to be "sweet, perfect and virtuous" but assured her that she was "so good at the lighter stuff" and that Shakespeare had plenty of comedy roles to choose from. Cleo dejectedly accepted the criticism, later telling her friend Shawna "she might as well have just said 'audition for King Lear or some other hairy man'".

While recounting for her diary her attempts at the Eighth Doctor's instruction to get the eight-year-old William Shakespeare drunk, Charlotte Pollard stated that she had been struggling to match Will "measure for measure, you might say".
