Theatre Department’s Measure for Measure has good seats available.

Dinner and a play are the perfect end to a hectic week, and good seats for Schoolcraft College’s Measure for Measure are available for the April 6 and 7 performances. Tickets are $24 each, which includes a dinner of antipasto salad, meat lasagna and tiramisu. Dinner begins at 6:30 p.m. with curtains opening at 8 p.m.

Measure for Measure was first performed in 1604, and cannot easily be labeled as either tragedy or comedy. The play takes place in Vienna, where the duke feigns a trip away from the city while disguising himself as a friar to spy on his deputy, Angelo. Angelo, who strictly enforces immorality laws, sentences a young nobleman to death for fornication. Only if the nobleman’s sister, a novice nun, agrees to sleep with Angelo will he spare the nobleman’s life.

The resolution of this dilemma and the just rewards for the hypocritical Angelo form the crux of the plot. For more information or to order tickets, call 734-462-4596 or visit the college Bookstore.
