“A bold, wildly unorthodox staging with an audacious aesthetic”
Financial Times on Measure for Measure

Dark fantasies and nightmarish visions unfold in this bold take on Shakespeare's unparalleled tale of love, betrayal and desire. 

Director Joe Hill-Gibbins teams up with designer Johannes Schütz (Three Sisters) to dive into the subconscious of Shakespeare's masterpiece.
