Measure For Measure
Written By William Shakespeare
Directed by Dustin J. Martin
It’s Shakespeare’s comi-tragic, problem-atic masterpiece, and it’s in Madison for two weekends only.
It plays games with life, it manipulates, it cheats, and it never apologizes. And that’s the good guys.
The Duke of Vienna conducts a social experiment: he pretends to leave town putting his deputy Angelo in charge to see how the situation will unfold. Angelo immediately becomes an autocratic tyrant, enforcing the most severe forgotten laws as the situation threatens to spiral out of control. Only a young woman, Isabella, galvanized by the death sentence handed down to her brother, stands in the way.
