Shakespeare’s rarely staged comedy, where human nature collides with the letter of the law, comes to life under the direction of Psalmayene 24, Helen Hayes Award winner for Folger Theatre’s production of Metamorphoses.
Newly enforced regulations penalize the everyday citizens of Vienna, but don’t stop the hijinks of a rambunctious crew of bawdy residents. In this morally lax city, a corrupt official tries to coerce novice nun Isabella to submit to his desires. Can Isabella maintain her vow of chastity and save her incarcerated brother’s life?
Measure for Measure offers considerations into societal upheaval and asks whose voices are silenced and whose voices break through.
