The Taming of the Shrew
by William Shakespeare
directed by Kim Mckean
Fortune-seeking Petruchio swaggers into town looking to to marry money when he learns of the fiery tongued Katharina. Some call her plain Kate, sometimes Kate the Cursed, but Petruchio has a cunning plan to tame her for his wife. She has other ideas, most of them violent, and none involving marriage. Meanwhile, little sister Bianca, the apple of her father’s eye, inflames the considerable passion of every eligible man in town and attracts would-be husbands everywhere she looks. But daddy won’t let that happen until big sister Kate gets a husband of her own. Through bickering and brawling, Kate and Petruchio’s comic courtship is a no-holds-barred battle of wills that results in a love and understanding that neither one imagined.
