"Measure For Measure"at Hovey Players

Last Saturday I went with some friends who I work with to watch one of our other friends in the performance Measure for Measure at the Hovey Players Theater in Waltham. It is a Shakespearean comedy about a young man being condemned to be hanged for impregnating a certain woman, his sister who is a devote nun that tries to get the deputy to free him, and the duke who goes in disguise as a monk. Our friend had only a few lines, but she did her part very well nonetheless.

The play was funny and everyone did enjoy it. The actors wore more modern day clothes which helps the audience relate to them more, but it sometimes seems a bit odd that they are speaking Shakespearean in such outfits. The theater is also quite nice.

Before we went to the play, we went to a sushi restaurant called Sake Hana along the way in Westborough. I had a Groupon, and it was a Groupon well spent! The food was delicious and the Groupon helped us get quite a meal. The atmosphere was also quite nice.
