Shakespeare at the Old Globe
Wednesday, June 24th, Measure for Measure at the Old Globe outdoor theater at 8.00pm with a pre-performance talk in the Craig Noel Garden at 7.15pm.
Justice and desire collide in Shakespeare’s timeless tale of power and hypocrisy. When Vienna’s Duke suddenly disappears, his morally rigid deputy Angelo takes control—determined to rid the city of vice. But when he condemns a young man to death and then propositions the man’s sister, his actions reveal the cracks in his facade of authority. Filled with rich characters, surprising twists, and a comic group of seedy grifters on the make, Measure for Measure explores who holds power, who gets punished, and what it truly means to be virtuous.
