As I watched the Elevator Repair Service's production of Measure for Measure at the Public Theater the other night, I experienced a blast from the past.
The Public Theater presents the world premiere of Elevator Repair Service's take on William Shakespeare's classic tale Measure For Measure.
Performances take place in the Public's LuEsther Hall.

About Measure For Measure:
With athletic theatricality and Marx-Brothers-inspired slapstick, the Elevator Repair Service ensemble brings exciting new life to this story of impossible moral choices in 17th-century Vienna. Radical experiments with speed set the play's combination of the comically absurd and the tragically serious in stark relief, and deliver a remarkable new show that marries the company's unique performance style with the Bard's exquisitely lyrical language.
