7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Other dates and times through Aug. 22. Theater at Monmouth, 796 Main St., Monmouth, $22 to $36. theateratmonmouth.org
Theater at Monmouth presents a classic Shakespeare tale that tackles moral dilemmas, religious hypocrisy and the power dynamics between those in power and the people they govern. “Measure for Measure” is a dark comedy about what happens when justice and authority are corrupted and what it really means to be loving and merciful. Watch the drama unfold for yourself this summer, as the play runs well into August.
