M4M: An all male version of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure

Conceived and Directed by Craig J. George

Onstage now through October 14th at Cleveland Public Theatre!

The critics agree:

"There are too many absolutely profound and slyly hilarious moments to
recount.... It's a sexy and thought-provoking experience, this 'M4M.' If you
have time and money for only one of these Shakespeare offerings, this is the
one you must see." - Tony Brown, The Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Blazing theatricality...one of those felicitous occasions when the
director's concept fertilizes, rather than gilds the lily!" - Keith Joseph,
The Free Times 

"Sizzling...a must-see! Director Craig J. George's stark staging feels
right...a towering performance by new-to-town Michael Mauldin. Add hot
shirtless guys in tight leather pants and the tale of a public puritan who
is a sexual predator, and you've got something that feels ripped from the
headlines" - Linda Eisenstein, Cool Cleveland 

"A rousing evening...this production has a sweaty and muscular sensuality,
due to director Craig J. George's imaginative use of the playing
area...There's fresh energy at work at CPT....a terrific example of how
exciting this theater can be!" - Christine Howey, Scene Magazine

In M4M, powerful leaders take it upon themselves to rid Vienna of freedom,
brothels and unlawful sexual activity, much to the dismay of the citizens.
In a very contemporary take on this classic, 6 male actors portray 12 male
and 6 female roles,reviving the all-male tradition of Shakespeare's stage in
an erotic, humorous and streamlined version of Measure for Measure.
Shakespeare's darkest and most sexual play, M4M captures the disturbing and
aberrant results of sexual repression  and exploitation and the dangers of
executive authority. Hmmm, sound familiar?
