Last night, the kitties and I watched the BBC Shakespeare production of Measure for Measure. Shakespeare sure sprawls in this one. Its final scene goes on way too long, and John McEnery's Lucio goes on way too long as comedy relief. As to the production, it's very beautiful with wonderful sets and costumes, and very well cast. Kate Nelligan is wonderful as Isabella, and a young Alun Armstrong plays the kindly Provost. Adrienne Corri was a prettier Mistress Overdone than I expected, but I've loved her since she played the clan leader in Vampire Circus.
