Book Club: Measure for Measure
Shakespeare Dallas has launched a new opportunity for our audiences to meet and discuss the plays being performed in our season. Ever wonder how a director prepares an abridged script of a Shakespeare play? What method of text analysis take place to determine what is cut and what makes it onto the stage? If you missed out on our previous Book Clubs, you are invited to experience that process at our Book Club for Measure for Measure!
Led by Interim Executive and Artistic Director Jenni Stewart, Book Club gatherings are comfortable, fun and promise great discussions. The Book Club will meet for four sessions to read and discuss the upcoming play, provide a behind-the-scenes look at the production process, and receive an invitation to exclusive events.
Synopsis:
Measure for Measure, written between 1603 and 1604, is seen as one of Shakespeare's problem plays due to its shift in mood. Vienna is beset with brothels and loose morality, so it's up to the Duke to provide some divine intervention.
