Elevator Repair Service’s Measure For Measure opened October 10 at the Public Theater Off-Broadway. Directed by John Collins, the ERS ensemble brings its singular approach to the Bard’s popular comedy in this all-new staging featuring athletic theatricality and Marx Brothers-inspired slapstick.
The cast is made up of Rinne Groff (Isabella); Lindsay Hockaday (Pompey, Juliet); Maggie Hoffman (Provost): Mike Iveson (Lucio); Vin Knight (Escalus); April Matthis (Francisca, Mariana); Gavin Price (Froth, Friar, Boy, Barnardine, Messenger); Greig Sargeant (Claudio); Scott Shepherd (the Duke); Pete Simpson (Angelo); and Susie Sokol (Mistress Overdone, Elbow, Varrius, Abhorson).
