Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure": ERS Work in Progress
The showing on December 15th is SOLD OUT. To inquire about the waitlist please email ariana@elevator.org
ERS is now hard at work making a new show. This time, they're taking on Shakespeare. It's a first for the company as they dive deep into Measure for Measure, one of Shakespeare's notorious problem plays. In keeping with a play that traverses territory both joyfully entertaining and deeply tragic, ERS is making a show that features high-speed athleticism and intensely felt silences. Experimenting with extremes of pacing and vocal virtuosity, the ensemble is challenging conventional notions of how Shakespeare is performed. The result is a surprisingly faithful rendition of a drama that is both high-stakes and hilarious.
This low-tech work-in-progress showing is an opportunity for a small audience of friends and supporters to get a glimpse of the new ERS show that will run in the fall. It's a preview of what's to come and a window into the ensemble's process.
