Folger Theatre's 'Measure for Measure' staged as a revolution
Original: Folger Theatre’s ‘Measure for Measure’ turns a problem play into a revolution
Folger Theatre in Washington, DC has opened a new production of Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure', a work long considered one of his 'problem plays' for its uneasy mix of comedy and moral ambiguity. Reviewers say the staging transforms the notoriously difficult text, presenting it as a story of revolution rather than a compromised comedy, and are praising the production's bold reinterpretation.
Why now: The production is drawing attention for a fresh, radical interpretation of one of Shakespeare's most difficult plays.
