Measure for Measure

November 13th, 2008  |  by Alive Mind Education  |  published in Measure for Measure

Sex and power drive the action of William Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure. Set in today’s British army this is a modern realization of a classic problem play where every character must justify their own private morality in a world bereft of discipline and authority. Critics rave that this contemporary dramatization is the perfect introduction to Shakespeare.

    “…a great and refreshing adaptation of a very underrated Shakespearian problem play,
    and Bob Komar should be applauded for taking on the text and giving us a feel for
    the timeless nature of the Bard’s world.”
    -Wendy Atwell, Shakespeare Revue

    “A youthful and raw energy refreshes the Shakespeare problem play
    into something more digestible for our learners today.”
    -Janet Armsgrove, All Things Shakespeare

    “It is perhaps the best learner focused resource for young people on the play I have seen
    …If only this was the way all Shakespeare was delivered to our youth.”
    - Ian Devlin, The Bard

    "The film juxtaposes footage ....with discussions of “soul force,” defined as the spiritually-motivated, nonviolent forms of resistance associated with Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., among others. A solid discussion starter, Fierce Light is recommended."
    -Video Librarian September/October 2009

    "...The Gates makes clear that a lot of folk found Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s Central Park enterprise both beautiful and moving. Recommended.
    -Video Librarian September/October 2009

    "Narcissistic or not, the breakthroughs experienced by some of the participants seem real enough, although Morgan neglects to disclose how much individuals paid for the privilege. The Workshop is recommended for academic human sexuality studies."
