Bard on the Beach is completing its Howard Family Stage programming this season with Measure for Measure, adapted and directed by Jivesh Parasram, from July 4 to September 20.

With rocking dance floors and the hottest DJ in the business, Vienna is the place to be, especially with notorious party animal Duke Vincenzio keeping the music going all night long. But when he’s charged with enforcing long-ignored morality laws, Duke takes his cue to get out of Dodge and lay low while the law cracks down—handing the judicial reins to the decidedly un-groovy Angelo. No (pre-marital) dancing is the decree.

One of Shakespeare’s most painfully relevant tales of coercion and hypocrisy reaches darkly absurdist new heights in this footloose adaptation, starring a talented cast helmed by Meaghan Chenosky as Isabella and Craig Erickson as Angelo.

Talkback Tuesdays take place on July 23 and August 20, and Wine Wednesday, featuring exclusive pre-show B.C. wine tastings, takes place on August 14.
