Tom Robenolt as Angelo
What happens when a corrupt politician upholds high moral standards for his people while flagrantly ignoring those principals in his private life? Ripped from the headlines! Some things never change. Join us for Measure for Measure, Shakespeare’s “Indecent Proposal,” a legal thriller that examines what happens when the forces of sin and virtue face political hypocrisy.
Measure for Measure is directed by guest artist Graham Watts, who returns for his eight production with FST. Mr. Watts’ 30-year career also includes productions at the Royal Shakespeare Company, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, and the National Theatre of Great Britain.
The show runs July 15-August 1, 2010. For more information, read the News-Miner’s feature article by Glen Burnsilver.
This show is performed in repertory with Two Gentlemen of Verona (a musical!)
Our summer season could not happen without the support of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. We perform on campus at Jack Townshend Point, behind the Museum of the North. Free parking is available behind the Reichardt building.
