The Taming of the Shrew

“I see a woman may be made a fool, if she had not a spirit to resist.” A breakdown of a defiant spirit or a breakthrough liberating a heart deprived of love? This boisterous and stirring comedy follows the love story and battle of wills between feisty Katherina and Petruchio. Chris Abraham directs a “very energetic, athletic” (The Slotkin Letter) and complex performance at the 2015 Stratford Festival, placing the action of the play in an ironic context. A delightful new vision of an old Shakespearian favorite, extensively packed with wit and gumption to make its viewers laugh out loud.
