Director Joe Hill-Gibbins is the horny mad scientist of the theatre world: he takes classic plays, smashes them to smithereens, smears them in smut, then rebuilds them in fantastical, hysterical forms… He is the perfect director to tackle Shakespeare’s ‘Measure for Measure’ Time Out

“The most scabrously funny take I've seen on Shakespeare's profound comedy... Romola Garai in wonderfully impassioned form" 
Independent

“A bold, wildly unorthodox staging with an audacious aesthetic” Financial Times
