The Taming of The Shrew is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, lively and full of wonderful characters. It is a play within a play, presented as a practical joke to Christopher Sly, a town drunk, who is duped into believing his is a Lord.

The players enact the story of the courtship of Bianca and her strong-willed sister Kate (the Shrew). Kate's temper and forthright views frightens off would-be suitors much to her younger sisters fustrations as she cannot wed until after her elder sister. A generous dowry entices the visiting Petruchio to declare his intention to marry Kate, regardless of her displeasure!

Treated in the tradition fashion by Director John Allinson, this lavish production retains all the quality and integrity of the Bard's original work whilst using a modern English narrative.
