MEASURE FOR MEASURE

First Performed

June 9, 2018

"O, it is excellent to have a giant's strength,

but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant."

 

Los Angeles: City of Angels, Garden of Evil, the Edge of Paradise. Vienna Studios is mid-production on their new film, however chaos reigns off-set and the director steps down; handing the helm to his puritanical assistant director. With the lead actor soon to be executed for his sins, it is up to his sister to save him from the chopping block.

This production of Measure for Measure is a modern day take on Shakespeare’s infamous problem play focusing on issues of sexual assault, consent, and harassment within 21st century Hollywood.
