Details

Two wealthy sisters in Padua must be married off. The modest, demure Bianca has no shortage of suitors, but who on earth will take the wild, ungovernable, ?shrewish' Katherina? Perhaps the gold-digging Petruchio, as maddeningly strong willed and perverse as Katherina herself, will be equal to the task of bullying her to the altar. Shakespeare's outrageous comedy introduces one of the theatre's great screwball double-acts, a couple hellbent on confusing and outwitting each other right up to its controversial conclusion. An up-beat modern production, exploring contemporary images of women from 1950s housewives to the Spice Girls. Expect though-provoking comedy, strong visuals and good music. The Company also offers the audience a chance to rewrite Shakespeare by voting on which ending they would like the play to have - so come along and get involved!!! Suitable for people of all ages 8+.
