‘Measure for Measure’ Preview, for The Tufts Daily
The Department for Drama and Dance’s winter play “Measure for Measure” is bringing a modern interpretation of the bard’s classic to campus when it on Valentines Day at 8PM.

“This is Shakespeare with the sex, and the prostitutes and the leather, no British people, we’re not walking around talking like robots like ‘What light soft from yonder window breaks!’ – No!” said Every Reidy, a freshman starring as Madame Ontop in the show. “This is Shakespeare broken down, and messed up. It’s Shakespeare like you’ve never seen it.”

Director Sheriden Thomas, a lecturer in the Drama and Dance Department, based her concept on the recent presidential election and “the difficulty of governing,” incorporating references to the Occupy Movement and modernizing the show.
