Abstract
In the summer of 1975 the Open Space Theater in London presented a play called Measure For Measure. The play, written by William Shakespeare, was adapted by Charles Marowitz, an American director living in London, for the modern stage. This thesis attempts to analyze and assess the Marowitz adaptation of Shakespeare’s Measure For Measure as performed by the Open Space Theater group. This study is derived from two sources: a first-hand experience of the play in performance in London and close textual analyses of both versions of the play.
