The Taming of the Shrew is a robust and bawdy battle of the sexes, this ever popular comedy captivates audiences with outrageous humor as Katharina, the shrew, engages in a contest of wills, and love, with her bridegroom, Petruchio. Their boisterous conflict is set off against a more conventional romantic plot involving the wooing of Katharina's lovely and compliant sister, Bianca. The play is quintessentially lighthearted, filled with visual gags, witty repartee, and unmatched theatrical brilliance.
