Folger Theatre's Measure for Measure Resonates in Political Climate
Original: Directed By Psalmayene 24 Folger Theatre's Measure for Measure Proves Relevant in Today’s Political Climate
Folger Theatre in Washington has staged Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, directed by Psalmayene 24, in a production critics say speaks directly to today's political moment. The play, which examines power, justice and hypocrisy among rulers, is being praised for feeling urgent and relevant rather than like a period piece, drawing attention to how the classic dark comedy mirrors contemporary debates over authority and abuse of power.
Why now: The production's themes of corrupt power and justice strike audiences as matching current political debates.
