A double dose of the Bard comes to the Broadwater (1078 Lillian Way) thanks to Foolish Productions’ stagings of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Measure for Measure in repertory. Both plays have been adapted from their respective original comedies by director Mikey Mulhearn.
Measure for Measure—an in-person remounting of their 2020 virtual performance—introduces us to the Duke of Vienna who seeks help managing a city overrun with prostitution and immorality. When he enlists Lord Angelo, the man who fervently reinstates a rarely enforced code of chastity, a pious nun will plead with him for her condemned brother’s life.
In Twelfth Night, twins Sebastian and Viola become washed ashore in a strange land following a shipwreck. What follows—a case of mistaken identity, unrequited love, and (somehow) pool inflatables—will lead two strangers to unleash love’s chaotic and transformative power upon the inhabitants of Illyria.
