Synopsis
Cheek by Jowl returns with its new production of Measure for Measure - hailed in Moscow as "a shattering portrait of contemporary Russia" (Novaya Gazeta). With his unique brew of laughter and high seriousness, Shakespeare dissects the nature of government, love, and justice - asking unsettling questions about how we are governed, exploring the "complex relationships between those in power, and ordinary citizens" (Kristina Matvienko).
A corrupt government policing a chaotic city's convents, prisons and brothels... Cheek by Jowl's Measure for Measure, through "a series of swiftly changing spectacular scenes" (Teatral) explodes as " a real thriller, piercing the heart of the entire audience"
Measure for Measure has been nominated for five Golden Mask awards, including Best Large Scale Drama Production and best director for Declan Donnellan.
