Measure for Measure
"Measure for Measure" by William Shakespeare
March 14 - 15, 2008 - 7:30 p.m.
Parker Auditorium
Merit Scholars weekend
A comedy-drama directed by Jim Stark. Public moral codes conflict with private conscience in this story of political scandal. How can one young woman fight corruption in high places? Where will she find help? Shakespeare tackles some enduring human problems in this play, sometimes from a comic point of view and sometimes from a deadly serious one — and often both at once. The centerpiece of Hanover College's biannual campus-wide Shakespeare Festival will approach this classic with a contemporary setting.
