Measure for Measure

This has got to be the best production of any Shakedpeare play I've seen- and I've seen quite a few.

Cheek by Jowl are a brilliant theatre company - the physicality, stage production, sets, costumes and music all ensured the audience knew exactly what was going on, but in such a captivating, imaginative way that we barely realised we were watching something written in the 1600s! And the real twist, which should have made it a difficult and alienating experience, was that it was all in Russian with English surtitles. But it really didn't matter - I was clearer on the plot and characters of this play than many contemporary productions I've seen. Amazing.
