Photo Flash: First Look at Fiasco's MEASURE FOR MEASURE at Long Wharf Theatre
By: BWW News Desk Dec. 02, 2015
Long Wharf Theatre presents the Fiasco Theater production of MEASURE FOR MEASURE by William Shakespeare, directed by Noah Brody and Ben Steinfeld, running now through December 20, 2015. The production runs on the Claire Tow Stage in the C. Newton Schenck III Theatre, opening tonight, December 2. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
The cast includes Jessie Austrian (Escalus/Mariana), Noah Brody (Co-director/Pompey/Claudio), Paul L. Coffey (Angelo/Elbow), Andy Grotelueschen (Duke), Ben Steinfeld (Co-director/Lucio/Froth), and Emily Young (Isabela/Mistress Overdone). The creative team includes Derek McLane (sets), Whitney Locher (costumes), Christopher Akerlund (lights), Matthew Melchiorre (stage manager).
New York's Fiasco Theater sheds new light on one of Shakespeare's darkest comedies with live music and moxie. When the Duke of Vienna disguises himself as a friar among his people, he finds the city unraveling in an ethical free fall. Before he reclaims his dukedom, can he help the chaste Isabella save her brother from the condemnation of the villain Angelo? Fiasco's creative and collaborative ensemble colors complex characters and illuminates perplexing plots to tell this singular tale of morality and manipulation in MEASURE FOR MEASURE.
