MEASURE FOR MEASURE
Presented by Cincinnati Shakespeare Company
May 3-26
Downtown

Local media coverage: Enquirer article |

Reviews: CityBeat | Enquirer |

Directed by Brian Isaac Phillips

Cast: Ian Bond as Claudio; Billy Chace* as Lucio; Charlie Cromer as Second Gentleman, Messenger, Varrius, Attendant, ensemble; Travis Emery as First Gentleman, Elbow, Barnardine, ensemble; Jessie Wray Goodman as Juliet, Francisca, ensemble; Jim Hopkins* as Escalus; Kelly Mengelkoch* as Isabella, Miranda McGee as Mistress Overdone; Sam Rabinovitz as Provost; Mary Lou Rader as Mariana, Mistress Froth; Paul Riopelle* as Pompey; Nicholas Rose* The Duke, Zach Schute as Friar Peter, Abhorson, ensemble and Brent Vimtrup as Angelo

In a city where any prohibited vice is readily available, stands Angelo, left in charge by an absent Duke. As he begins a crusade to enforce long forgotten codes of chastity, a young man’s life is threatened. But when Isabella, a novice nun, pleads for the life of her brother, she is offered a truly indecent proposal to spare him from Angelo himself. Shakespeare puts hypocritical, ethical and religious double standards on trial in this captivating and deep examination of the value of virtue and the power of our vices.
