Measure For Measure

-

“Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall”


Black is white and up is down in Shakespeare’s bouncing, raucous, controversial comedy of government corruption, religion and sex. This is Measure for Measure: as it genuinely is, and as you’ve never seen it before.  Equal parts First Folio farce and film noir nightmare, this production is an astonishing Renaissance romp with plenty of emphasis on the romp. With a new musical score based on original Jacobean sources, this paradoxical new reduction promises to provide the very best in dark, ridiculous and cutting-edge classical theatre. Not to be missed.


Performances:

Friday 4th November to Sunday 4th December 2011. All performances at 7:30 pm

Sunday at 3:00pm only

No Monday Performances
