Shakespeare’s Measure Proves All Too Timely

By Patrick Hurley

Method and Madness theatre Co. is presenting Measure for Measure, at the Mid-City Arts Center. The staging of this lesser produced Shakespeare Comedy as directed by Margaret Starbuck is in a cabaret-style.  The seating is meant to immerse the audience into the action as it happens around us. And while the staging of an episodic comedy comes with its own set of challenges, the use of audience interaction at least gives the somewhat problematic text a feel of novelty and relevance.
