North Coast Repertory Theatre is set to stage a musical comedy that takes Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure and shakes it up. Set in the Wild West, this is a romantic musical that manages to address law and order, justice and hypocrisy. Loaded with laughs and toe-tapping music, Desperate Measures features music by David Friedman and and a book and lyrics by Peter Kellogg.
