Shakespeare Goes to Texas: Mandatory Display of the Ten Commandments in Texas Public Schools
This week on the REC podcast, Ramsey, Ellen, and Cailen will explore Shakespeare's 1604 play Measure for Measure, wherein the cloistered novice Isabella faces a choice between honoring her eternal commitment to God and standing by her brother in the temporal liminality of their lives on Earth.
