Measure for Measure

On Wednesday March 17, (St. Patty's Day), we went to see Shakespeare's Measure for Measure with the theatre class. This famous piece follows the story of a Duke who steps down from office when he sees that the citizens have stopped obeying common law, and he allows his inferior, Angelo, a much more "to the book" ruler, to take his position. Under the control of Angelo, the character of Claudio is arrested, and his sister sets off on a mission to save his life. With twists and turns, scandals and even a proposal, this high action plot would keep anyone on the edge of their seat.

The set design of Measure for Measure was absolutely amazing. This was the first play this semester that involved a changing set; all other plays have one set throughout the entire piece. Director Michael Attenborough's adaptation of this play allowed for a modern set; the spinning set pieces and furniture that dropped under the floor added a dimension of style that we haven't yet encountered. I enjoyed watching the piece move, guessing how the set was going to be laid out for the next scene.
