“To whom should I complain? Who would believe me?” This course will examine William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure, first produced at Whitehall Palace as part of King James's 1604 Christmas revels. The play explores justice, hypocrisy, corruption, and mercy in a way that resonates powerfully today. We will view 2 recent productions (2015 Shakespeare’s Globe and 2019 Royal Shakespeare Company).
