- Discuss the various themes that William Shakespeare uses in the play Measure For Measure how
these ideas reflect the social, political, and economic ideals of the year/time period it was written
and/or (why is this play relevant now?) Explore why you might think this play would be timeless and why
it is so widely produced or popular. - Create a directorial concept and production plan this play, illustrating why you make the choices you
did. (Note: This can include visuals to back up your descriptions, but the 3 – 5 page written portion in
addition to these is still a requirement.) You may choose to focus on particular aspects of the production
process (such as lighting, sound, properties, costumes – or a combination of these). - Create your own prompt – although challenging – if you have another idea that you would like to
explore related to Measure For Measure By William Shakespeare, create your thesis. It must be on the
play and it must be your own ideas. You can get creative here – perhaps a commentary on Theatre in general.
