THE 2002 Shakespeare Unplugged tour of ' Measure For Measure' visits the Platform in Morecambe for two performances only on April 3rd and 4th as part of its nationwide tour of schools and community venues.
A disturbing tale of suspense, dark comedy and corruption, 'Measure For Measur'e explores sexuality, morality and the law, exposing the abuse of authority in high places and the seething underworld of Vienna.
Presented in an interactive, promenade style that strips away the barriers between actor and audience, each performance (a 100 minute version of the play) is preceded by an introductory event that explores the relationship between actor and audience.
Directed by Jonathon Petherbridge (Artistic Director of London Bubble Theatre), this performance and workshop project is produced by NT Education in collaboration with The London Bubble Theatre Company.
The Education Director is Fiona Lesley.
Jonathon Petherbridge has previously directed The Gambler, Midsummer Night's Dream, The Winter's Tale, Volpone, Gilgamesh and pantomimes.
He was previously Artistic Director of the Duke's Lancaster and York Theatre Royal.

The company was formed in 1972 and has a history of creating events that reflect the diversity of London and its people.
