Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare
This production uses chemical fog/haze. Due to mature subject matter, this production is recommended for students of high school age or older. In the dark comedy, Measure for Measure, virtue struggles against powerful hypocrisy and, in the end, should mercy temper justice? In the beginning of the play, self-indulgence and moral decay are so pervasive in Vienna, that the Duke takes a drastic step. He puts in charge a self-righteous man, who makes quick judgments and administers drastic punishmentsuntil he meets a beautiful nun, who begs him to temper his actions with mercy. Disguises and the old bed trick come into play as traps are set and sprung. Will virtue triumph? Or will hypocrisy win the day? A play for our times.
