Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare
Location: Emmett Robinson Theatre
Time: 8:00 pm - 10:30pm
Details: Shakespeare's darkest comedy is aptly titled as even in its structure all things (tragedy and comedy in this case) must maintain their delicate balance. Part dark and ominous drama and part broad, even slapstick, comedy - Measure for Measure is at the center the story of Angelo, the Duke of Vienna's proxy, who in his zeal to enforce the letter of the law loses sight of the spirit of it and Isabella who must decide between sleeping with him to save her brother's life or preserving her chastity and thereby sealing his doom.

Location: Chapel Theatre - Calhoun Annex
