Measure for Measure Cast Announced
We are proud to announce the cast for our next production, Measure for Measure, directed by Kim McCann-Lawson.
“The law hath not been dead, though it hath slept.” – II.ii, Measure for Measure, William Shakespeare
Wildflower Ensemble Company will present Measure for Measure in August 2016. Measure is considered one of Shakespeare’s more difficult plays. A dark comedy, it is often categorized as a “problem play” due to its themes of morality, abuse of power & the intricacies of law. At times, broadly comic and at others, darkly cynical, Measure is both complex and intriguing. Wildflower is excited to bring this seldom produced work to the Sacramento stage.

Following up on y’all following me on Twitter, I’d like to add a link to Wildflower on Shakespeareances.com (no quid pro quo, fee, obligations). Can somebody there please email to start this conversation?
