Lancaster Shakespeare Theatre
PO Box 8873
Lancaster, PA 17604
Drama/Comedy
by William Shakespeare
directed by Natalie Beckman and LST Executive Artistic Director Jeremiah Miller
About the Show:
Shakespeare’s classic is boldly reimagined and set in an Orwellian metropolis, where surveillance, power, and corruption twist justice into a grotesque farce.
What happens when a puritanical despot cracks down on vice – and freedom – in the city of Vienna? When the city’s ruler goes on sabbatical, his deputy, Angelo, clamps down on the city population. But when Angelo persecutes an otherwise upstanding citizen for the crime of fornication, he steps over the line as he tries to seduce a nun who comes to plead for her brother’s life. Don’t miss Shakespeare’s tragi-comedy or comic-tragedy (you decide).
*Performances will be held at St John’s Episcopal Church, 321 West Chestnut Street, Lancaster, PA*
PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF VENUE: Measure For Measure will now be performed at St. John's Episcopal Church's "Upper Level" space. The schedule will remain the same, with the exception of the performance on Tuesday, February 25, which is canceling due to a venue conflict. If you have purchased tickets for the February 25th performance, we apologize for the inconvenience, and will contact you about a refund.
