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.

Reviews

“…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

Much of the entertaining Hippie Masala consists of charming reminiscences from the quirky quartet (as well as a pair of voluble South African twins who’ve also taken up residence in India), backed by footage of their day-to-day lives. Recommended.
-Video Librarian November/December 2008

A poignant and serious meditation on human psychology, Protagonist is highly recommended. Editor's Choice.
-Video Librarian September/October 2008

Brilliantly filmed under fairly difficult circumstances, Living Goddess will definitely appeal to anyone with an interest in Eastern religions. Recommended.
-Video Librarian September/October 2008

Some believers will no doubt refuse to watch these conversations, while others may feel that their faith can only be strengthened by confronting the strongest arguments against it—and The Atheism Tapes definitely delivers the latter. Highly recommended.
-Video Librarian July/August 2008

Both as a lesson in law and as an entertaining personality profile, Pledge of Allegiance Blues is highly recommended.
-Video Librarian May/June 2008
