SHAKESPEARE’S ‘Measure for Measure’ will be performed by Holt Dramatic Society at the Glove Factory Studios in Holt from 18th – 21st July, commencing at 7.30pm. (The grounds will be open for picnics from 5.30pm).
Holt Dramatic Society say, “Imagine a city where the law no longer works. The law-makers have lost control and crime is at an all-ime high. Sounds familiar? The Duke hands over power to his deputy to re-establish order. The deputy begins to take back control of the city by making sure the law is followed to the letter.
“However power corrupts and the deputy uses his new-found position not only to restore law and order, but to force himself on an innocent young woman. Meanwhile, the Duke has not really left the city but, in disguise, he watches to see what his deputy will do. Will the young woman succumb or will she protect her body in the face of intolerable pressure? Come and find out at the Glove Factory.
“Shakespeare wrote this play more than 400 years ago and it is as relevant today as it was then. Have we learnt nothing?”
Tickets available from Holt superstore.
