About This Production

In this West Coast premiere, Theater Professor Karin Magaldi directs Aditi Brennan Kapil’s translation of Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure” which examines and warns against the corrupting influence of power, even among the most virtuous of individuals. Kapil’s translation upholds the play’s construction, concepts, and rhythms with modern language that brings the tale to life for 21st-century audiences. 

This production is a collaboration of Play On Shakespeare and Theater Arts at PSU. PSU's Theater Arts program has partnered with Shakespeare's First Folio: 1623–2023, a public humanities project celebrating Shakespeare from August 2023 to May 2024 with many interdisciplinary events. Join us!
