The Taming of the Shrew

This entertaining adaption of Shakespeare’s comedy contains all the wit, farce and wisdom of the original.  Best of all this abridged format makes the play accessible for school performance.  Raucous humor, witty repartee and irony abound.  It’s all here.  Petruchio’s unconventional wooing of the shrew, Katherina, is deftly handled in clever dialog true to Shakespeare’s style and pace.  The staging offers a wonderful opportunity for creative costuming, props and scene design.
