M4M
Quality Meats presents
M4M
Directed by Meiyin Wang
with Mary Jane Gibson and Ben Vershbow
Somewhere in a city, a man waits in an empty store. A woman arrives. He inspects her. Money exchanges hands. They begin. What starts hesitatingly, and then tumbles out to startling effect, is the text of Measure for Measure.
In this 50 minute adaptation, strangers in a room act out a bizarre fantasy of power and desire while the line between the S&M play and the Shakespeare play rapidly dissolves. The audience, in close proximity, is witness to extremely private acts of domination and submission. The production takes Shakespeare's most unpredictable play, which wrestles with the ideas of power, sex, morality and substitution, and makes it strange and dangerous again.
M4M plays Saturday 3/21 through Saturday 3/28 at chashama @ 217 E.42nd Street (4,5,6,7 to Grand Central). Show times are Sat 3/21 - Thur 3/26 at 8pm (no Tues 3/24) and Fri 3/27 - Sat 3/28 at 7 & 9:30pm.
