Product Description
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 Christoper Sly, a town drunk, who is duped into believing he is a Lord. The players enact the story of the courtship of Bianca and her strong-willed sister Katharina (the Shrew). Kate's temper and forthright views frighten off would-be suitors much to her younger sisters frustration 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. What ensues is a non-stop battle of the sexes that has delighted audiences for centuries. | |
