"Measure for Measure" is a complex play that deals with many socially charged issues of morality, religion and sexuality. In particular, the play emphasizes the issues of marriage, gender roles, and religious identity. Through an exploration of the Jacobean context of these issues, this thesis examines the play as a reflection of and commentary on the time period. Further, this project applies knowledge of these Jacobean cultural, moral, and religious ideals to a production concept of "Measure for Measure." Ultimately, this production concept sheds light on the multitude of opinions and beliefs that were a part of Jacobean England's culture. / A Thesis submitted to the School of Theatre in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. / Spring Semester, 2005. / March 17, 2005. / Morality, Production Concept, Jacobean, Comedy, Tragedy, Measure For Measure, Shakespeare, Religion / Includes bibliographical references. / Laura Edmondson, Professor Directing Thesis; Mary Karen Dahl, Committee Member; Carrie Sandahl, Committee Member.
