Read Measure for Measure - Online

The first effort of SHK’s ‘Jacobean’ period, MEASURE FOR MEASURE ranks as the most ‘urban’ of his plays. No pastoral (as in, say, AYL’s forest of Arden) or anti-pastoral (as in, say, KL’s heath scenes) here: just city hall, the taverns, the brothels, the prison. A myriad of mind-games and manipulations, this is SHK’s full-on #MeToo play.

RSVPs open 1 PM PST/4 PM EST on Saturday 2 May. The role charts are already posted, so you can be looking them over even before RSVPs open.

Once you have RSVP-ed & received from MEETUP the automated ‘you’re going’ message, please then message me DIRECTLY with your preferred role choices (at least three); I will assign on a first-come, first-served basis. Even if you have no role preference, please message me anyway & let me know.

If you are 'wait-listed,' you will still get an email on the day of the event with the ZOOM link. We encourage you to join in. There is an on off-chance that you can pick the role if a registered attendee can't make it. Or you can just listen.

Our group’s STRONGLY preferred text for the play is the Folger edition. Here is the link:
