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
