'The Taming of The Shrew'

'The Taming of The Shrew'

Presented by Theatreworks and Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts

Will’s original battle of wills, staged in an Elizabethan England with one key difference: this society is a matriarchy.

“I see a woman may be made a fool/If she had not a spirit to resist.” Will’s original battle of wills, staged in an Elizabethan England every bit as stylized and strict as we always imagine it, with one key difference: this society is a matriarchy. We’re reversing traditional hierarchies to breathe new life into the Shrew you thought you knew. Kate and Petruchio, equals in intellect, impudence, and perhaps even infatuation learn to balance identity and belonging, with plenty of sniping, head-butting, and comic brilliance along the way.
