Shakespeare Club presents ‘Measure for Measure’

Susquehanna’s Shakespeare Club will present “Measure for Measure” at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 24 and 25 in the Degenstein Center Theater in the Charles B. Degenstein Campus Center.

First performed in 1604, the play follows Angelo, a strict deputy ruling Vienna in Duke Vincentio’s absence. In disguise, Duke Vincentio observes as Angelo sentences Claudio to death for fornication, only to become infatuated with Claudio’s chaste sister, Isabella, when she begs for her brother’s life.

This annual audience favorite is an energetic large-cast excursion into the work of the Bard, often characterized by whimsical staging and found-objects design.
