Playing 4 shows only!
Join our all-singing, all-dancing cast as we take a wild romp through the seedy streets of 17th century Vienna, meeting larger-than-life characters who will charm you even as they pick your pocket. In a city of brothels, louche lads-about-town and illegitimate children, the mayor and a young nun meet in private. She wants to save her brothers life. He is happy to help but at what price?
Enjoy a wild and hilarious night out and join our all-singing, all-dancing cast as we take a wild romp through the seedy streets of 17th century Vienna, meeting larger-than-life characters who will charm you even as they pick your pocket.From the dubious delights of Mistress Overdones house of ill-repute to the musical inmates of the city jail, this new production of Shakespeares masterpiece will take you on an unexpected and joyful journey.
At the heart of Measure for Measure is one mans appalling abuse of power. In his mayoral office, a powerful man and a young nun meet in private. She wants to save her brothers life. He is happy to help but at what price? In a city where everyone seems to have a vice, the wheels of justice move slowly, but grind very finely indeed.
Directed by Pop-up Globes Artistic Director, Miles Gregory (A Midsummer Nights Dream, The Comedy of Errors, Richard III, Twelfth Night, Henry V), and starring a highly-experienced cast that brings together some of the stars from previous seasons with internationally recognised new ensemble members this is a production that is not to be missed!
Performed in stunning Jacobean period dress, the Nottinghams Company are a mixed company of male and female actors from around the world. Working with international theatre experts and creatives, they will transport you 400 years into the past for the extraordinary experience of seeing Shakespeares plays performed in the space for which they were written.
Ages: 10+ There are some adult themes, so discretion is advised
