description: "Grace is grace, despite of all controversy: as, for example, thou thyself art a wicked villain, despite of all grace." Thus speaks Lucio, "a fantastic," in William Shakespeare's Yes, grace is still grace, and justice still justice. Mercy is still mercy, and from the one to whom much is given, much will be required. It is a lesson that the Duke's deputy Angelo must learn, to his peril. In this three-act Western adaptation of Shakespeare's play, the bard's Reformation themes are distilled and amplified for applicability in the here and now, not just in Elizabethan England or the American frontier.
