2. Purity versus corruption
Clark College Theatre presents “Measure for Measure,” one of Shakespeare’s tonally ambiguous plays. It is classified as a comedy but defies expectations. Set in Vienna, Lord Angelo has been left in charge while the duke is away. Angelo uses his new powers to enforce stricter morality laws, sentencing soldier Claudio to death for getting his wife-to-be pregnant before marriage. But a rescue plan is hatched by novice nun Isabella and the real duke, disguised as a friar. Performances run 7:30 p.m. May 13-14 and May 19-21 in the Decker Theatre at Clark College, 1933 Fort Vancouver Way, Vancouver. Tickets are $13, $11 for seniors, $9 for students and alumni. 360-992-2815 or www.clark.edu/academics/programs/theatre/season.php
