"Our doubts are traitors,
And make us lose the good we oft might win,
By fearing to attempt."
- Measure for Measure, I.iv
Our 2012 Fall Mainstage is Shakespeare's Measure for Measure.
"Measure for Measure," one of Shakespeare's most compelling Problem Plays, highlights the moral grey-areas of
stringent laws and the potential for corruption when ambitious rulers try to enforce them.
This modernized version will seek to highlight one of the more controversial topics in
today's society: LGBTQA political and social equality. When an unjust arrest is made
against a man framed for a crime due to his homosexuality, the town is turned upside
down in protests and political chaos, challenging the characters and audience alike to
consider somewhat taboo topics in modern social dialogue.
