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. Produced in association with South Hill Park

UK Theatre Web: 01Aug06:
Daring but odd premise that is expertly performed by all. A wonderful open air evening. Peter Stephens and Knight Mantell stand out garnering the most laughs with some splendid interplay. Great Jazz combo. More please!
