“Astonishing!” --Harold Bloom from his book, Shakespeare, The Invention of the Human

Measure for Measure
By William Shakespeare

Directed by Fontaine Syer

Mistaken identity, lustful deceit, and the corrupting force of power collide in Shakespeare’s classic tragicomedy about morality in a pitched battle with justice. In a desire to spy on the true state of affairs in his city, the Duke disguises himself as a friar, leaving control of Vienna in the rigid, unbending hands of local justice Angelo. With his typical poetic beauty, Shakespeare addresses punishment and mercy, purity and power, and politics and love in this captivating and transporting play.
