Last night in the Halesworth Cut at Roughcast Theatre's Measure for Measure it took us a while to realise that Duke Vincentio's crutches weren't a theatrical device (put us in mind of the silent Petruchio).  Wikipedia and the programme emphasised the play is more than a comedy but both Tim Hall and Simon Evans got good laughs whilst the rest of the convoluted narrative and large cast rolled along very nicely thank you.  Roughcast are in Southwold tonight, Bungay and Diss next weekend.
