MEASURE FOR MEASURE like you’ve never seen—or heard—it before. This playful adaptation sets Shakespeare’s 1604 drama inside a contemporary sound studio where five actors take on all twenty characters throughout a live radio stream. Shakespeare’s story, while front and centre, is experienced through the actress stepping in at the last minute to play the leading role of Isabella. With no rehearsal, she must quickly adapt to this high-pressure environment, but things get complicated when the action off-stage becomes as heated as they are onstage. MEASURE FOR MEASURE is adapted and directed by Crow’s Theatre’s Associate Artist, and House + Body’s Artistic Director, Christopher Manousos (Stratford Festival’s Langham Directing Program, Shaw Festival’s Neil Munro Directing Intern). The cast includes Jamie Cavanagh (Soulpepper; VideoCabaret; Outside the March), Katherine Gauthier (Crow’s Theatre, Bad Roads; Shaw Festival), Sébastien Heins (Outside The March; Stratford; BMO Lab), Beck Lloyd (Canadian Stage, Ophelia in Hamlet; The Grand; Buddies in Bad Times; Stratford Festival), Danté Prince (Crave Canada, The Last Timbit; Musical Stage Company, Dixon Road; Stratford Festival). The design team includes Lighting Design by Chris Malkowski (Shaw Festival; Stratford Festival, King Lear) and Sound Design by Riel Reddick-Stevens (Black Shoulders Legacy Award; Infinite Theatre; Green Light Arts). The production will be Staged Managed by Meghan Froebelius (Canadian Stage, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf; Soulpepper, De Profundis: Oscar Wilde in Jail; Shaw Festival). Justin Eddy (Theatre Direct) will be the associate artistic producer of the production. HOUSE + BODY is an experimental independent theatre company based in Toronto focusing on radical adaptations of classical works, artist training and mentorship, and new play/project development.
