The 91ºÚÁÏÍø Department of English Drama & Theatre
program is proud to
present its upcoming season of classical works. The season begins
with William
Shakespeare’s black comedy masterpiece Measure for Measure playing
at Moyse Hall Theatre from November 17th-20th and 25th-27th,
2010.
Set in contemporary Austria where the worlds of Islam and Christian
Europe collide and morals from both sides are tested. A 17th
Century black comedy with influences of English Canadia dell’Arte,
it tells the story of Isabella, a woman attempting to free her
brother and keep her morals. A multi-media staging by Patrick
Neilson brings this classic Shakespeare into the here and now with
a large and talented cast.
The young and exciting cast includes Mike Ruderman (Angelo), Kate
Sketchley
(Isabella), Spencer Malthouse (The Duke), Carling Tedesco
(Provost), Charles
Dauphinais (Claudio), Thea Fitz-James (Lucio), and Emma
Fiske-Dobell (Julietta), Ben Hanff (Pompey), Chloe Texier-Rose
(Escalus), David Whiteside (Friar), Gabriela Petrov (Mariana),
Danny Morrison (Elbow), Chris Lane (various), Elizabeth Conway
(Mistress Overdone), and Melisa Keogh (various).
