Howard Miller takes a look at Measure for Measure:
Warning: If you are not familiar with Shakespeare's Measure for Measure before attending Elevator Repair Service's wildly inventive and often thrilling production at the Public Theater, I can pretty much guarantee you will leave without any more understanding than you came in with. So do your homework, and brush up your Shakespeare before entering this tempo-distorting whirlwind that offers up both giddy slapstick and serious ruminations on themes of morality, justice, corruption, and the plight of women in a man's world. . . . |
