Shakespear done mordern does not always work but in this outing at the latest upstairs play at Belvoir Measure for Measure is done well and at times a little over the top.
Bendict Andrews who directed the 8 hour marathon that was "War of the Roses" for Sydney Festival a year or so ago is back again with this show with some familar faces on stage if you have seen a Belvoir show recently, or if youv'e ewatched an Underbelly series and maybe even if you remember the short lived Aussie drama "Head Land" - LOL I don't think anyone remembers that gem :)
Okay so this is good, long in parts and clocking in at 3 hours including an interval you definately need to manage your wee breaks.
If Shakespear floats ya boat you will like it, PS don't go if shit, nudity, and wanking scenes offend, so there youv'e been warned.
3 stars.
