The club is open.
Lady Shakes Theatre Company invites you into the world of Measure for Measure — Shakespeare's most provocative play, reimagined in the heart of Jazz Age New York City.
Power. Desire. Justice. It has never felt more relevant.
Set against the glitz and glamour of 1920s Manhattan, our gender-bending cast brings Shakespeare's sharpest, most complex play to life. At the center of it all: a woman who won't compromise her principles, a man who thinks he's untouchable, and a city that keeps its secrets. A world of jazz, power, lust, and whoopee — where every character is fighting for something and nobody gets out clean.
This isn't just a night at the theatre. It's a speakeasy. There's a cash bar, cabaret seating, and - yes - there's a password. Puzzles start dropping on socials and our email list on September 14. Figure it out and our bouncer will let you in. Have trouble? Don’t worry, our fortune teller will be at the speakeasy entrance to help you out.
