Play Study: Measure for Measure (course)
With Matt Pinches
Not always an easy watch, Measure for Measure is one
of Shakespeare’s darkly real comedies. Themes of faith
and conscience collide as the heroine Isabella is asked
the terrible question: what will you do to save your
brother’s life? A play set around the courts of justice
and brothels of Vienna, what can this play also tell us
of Shakespeare’s London in the early 1600s?
In a supportive atmosphere participants will read
the play aloud which really opens up the story and brings new ideas to light
