SU Drama Presents MEASURE FOR MEASURE, Now thru 4/12
by BWW News Desk - Mar 27, 2015

Like most Shakespearean comedies, the course to the truth is neither smooth nor easy, but it is filled with engaging characters and extraordinary events, and even concludes with multiple marriages-however unlikely that may sometimes seem.
