The Taming of the Shrew: August 2017

By William Shakespeare

'The Taming of the Shrew' programme cover

In Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedy, sweet tempered mummy’s girl, Bianca, can have her pick of suitors: but not until her sister, the acid tongued Katherina, can be married off.

Rising to the challenge is new man in town, Petruchio, but can he match Kate jab for jab? Audiences were prepared for a hilarious, delirious tangle of masquerades and misdirection, with this year’s summer Shakespeare offering from The Briston Players.
