The Taming of the Shrew


(4.9 stars; 18 reviews)

The Taming of the Shrew is a controversial comedy by William Shakespeare that explores the battle of the sexes and an unconventional marriage. The story revolves around Lucentio's idealized love for Bianca, who cannot marry until her older sister, Katherine, is wed. Petruchio, who is determined to marry Katherine, takes a rather unorthodox approach to woo her, even against her will.

This hearty comedy has always been a favorite with audiences. With a cast that includes Bob Peck as Petruchio and Cheryl Campbell as Katherina, the performance brings to life the vibrant characters and their tumultuous relationships. The production features music composed by Mia Soteriou and is directed by Jeremy Mortimer.
