Commonwealth Shakespeare Company (CSC) hosts a one-night-only benefit staged reading of Measure for Measure by William Shakespeare, directed by Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler. This production will feature noteworthy actor Christian Coulson (Harry Potter, The Hours, Mozart in the Jungle, Nashville) as Angelo and includes a dynamic cast of the area’s extraordinary talent. Proceeds from this event will support CSC’s annual production of Free Shakespeare on the Common.
About The Play:
When the Duke of Vienna (Maurice Emmanuel Parent) leaves his deputy Angelo (Christian Coulson) in charge, he propositions novice nun Isabella (Nora Eschenheimer). Offering to save her brother from execution in return for sex, she has no idea where to turn for help. When she threatens to expose him, he tells her that nobody would believe her. Measure for Measure, considered a problem play because it combines the elements of comedy and tragedy, is Shakespeare’s timeless tale of deception, virtue, honor, and the corruption of power.
Date/Time:
April 14, 2022. The event will start at 7:30 pm. The anticipated run time is 2 hours 30 minutes with a 15-minute intermission.
Tickets will be $100 for Reserved Seating and $50 for General Admission.
For an additional $1,000 donation, guests can join our Prospero Society to get access to an exclusive reception on the evening of April 13th with Christian Coulson at the Newbury Hotel. This event is sponsored by The Newbury Hotel.
