This summer one of Shakespeare's best known plays comes to the Globe.

So book with us at £15.50!

Join us for this evening performance of MEASURE FOR MEASURE, a telling look at the battle between vice and virtue.

Reviews have been fantastic.

''Dominic Dromgoole shows all his experience in his final production in the Globe's outdoor space... Mariah Gale is an outstanding Isabella' The Sunday Times

Shakespeare's much admired comedy dwells on the hypocrisy and corruption of power. The play becomes even more potent realising the Vienna setting is a thin disguise for Shakespeare’s Jacobean London.

There are several explicit references to the bear baiting pits and brothels that would have surrounded the original Globe Theatre.

'The beautiful eloquence of the verse, and heartfelt nature of the acting, send unseasonal shivers down the spine even as the barometer hits breaking-point.' Daily Telegraph

MEASURE FOR MEASURE

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/d/f/7/b/600_438237211.jpeg

Vincentio, Duke of Vienna, disgusted by the immorality in his city, announces his withdrawal from public life and leaves the puritanical Angelo in charge.

Angelo, in his zeal for observing the letter of the law, begins a ruthless programme to stamp out sexual licence, in the course of which he condemns one Claudio to death.

Surely Claudio’s virginal sister Isabella, a novice nun seeking mercy for her brother, could not awake the lust of this cold, censorious man?

THE GLOBE

http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/c/9/8/1/600_434451585.jpeg

Shakespeare's Globe is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames that was originally built in 1599, destroyed by fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614, and then demolished in 1644. The modern reconstruction is an academic approximation based on available evidence of the 1599 and 1614 buildings. It was built about 230 metres (750 ft) from the site of the original theatre and opened to the public in 1997, with a production of Henry V.
