    Measure for Measure

    Directed by Jeffrey Frace (As You Like It, Hamlet, Macbeth). Flannery O'Connor meets the Bard in this contemporary southern gothic production, with live original music, of one of Shakespeare's most complicated comedies. Corrupt politicians and sexual scandals abound in this small southern U.S. town, where the law seems like the whole world and where it will require exceptional bravery, honesty and yes, grace, to love one's neighbor as one's self.
