What's On - Shakespeare in Focus - Measure for Measure

This three-week course will look at Measure for Measure in depth. This play is an intriguing mixture of comedy and high moral drama. It presents a dark picture of human frailty and corruption, while, at the same time, showing us what the human spirit is capable of. With the help of close textual analysis, we will discuss its style, imagery, themes and characterisation. Clips from the BBC version will illustrate the play, together with slides from productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Participants are asked to have read the play in advance and to have a copy with them in the sessions.
