Public Forum: And Justice for All

How do we balance the rigors of justice with the values of mercy and rehabilitation? When the law itself is unjust, how are we to respond? Shakespeare pondered these questions over 400 years ago in MEASURE FOR MEASURE, and they remain of vital importance today. As Elevator Repair Service presents their take on Shakespeare’s most famous “problem play,” Public Forum joins with the Public Shakespeare Initiative for an evening of readings and conversation featuring a cast of artists, activists, and intellectuals looking at how we approach the idea of justice today through the lens of Shakespeare’s play.
