A friend recommended this show highly and we got freebies for this afternoon. It is a musical version of Shakespeare's MEASURE FOR MEASURE by the York Theater Company. <fingers crossed.> |

It was really delightful, set in the wild West, before Arizona became a state. Fortunately, the story stood on its own with little need for a Shakespearian translation dictionary. It was all in rhymed verse, some exceedingly clever. It had all the elements of good farce: saloon fight over whore with heart of gold, a drunken atheist priest enamored with Nietzsche, gorgeous 6'4" sheriff falling in love with a beautiful nun, a sweet guy facing the noose tomorrow, a crooked lascivious governor quoting rhymed verse that could have come from Trump's mouth. All the singers were top-notch. A very nice afternoon. Edited by Trotsky, Sep 29 2017, 02:11 AM.
