Measure for Measure
New Orleans Museum of Art 1 Collins C. Diboll Circle, New Orleans, Louisiana 70124
In the divisive American politics of today, sometimes all we need is a bit of Shakespeare as a reminder that the world has always been a place of corruption and debauchery, even, occasionally, in the name of religious purity.
In a collaboration between The NOLA Project and PlayOn Shakespeare, the bard's tale of power and morality Measure for Measure, is given a brand new modern-verse translation by playwright AdidiBrennan Kapil. Performances will be held at New Orleans Museum of Art's Great Hall on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from September 10–29 (with one Wednesday performance on September 25, instead of Thursday, September 26) at 7:30 pm 9:30 pm. $33; $25 for members. noma.org.
