Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare
May 26-30 @ 7:30 PM
May 30 Matinee Show @ 2:00 PM
What happens after you solemnly swear to love, honor and OBEY? Seduced by her dowry, Petruchio sets out to tame the wild Kate and make her his bride by any means necessary. “Will you, nill you, I will marry you!” Kate has other ideas. This new take on the classic Shakespeare comedy sets the adventures of Kate and Petruchio in a television studio circa 1959. (Anyone over a certain age and fans of Mad Men may be familiar with this patriarchal, decidedly non-PC world). Audience members will be treated to a live studio performance complete with a three camera set-up and commercial breaks right out of the era. It’s sure to make you laugh and might just make you think (that is, if your husband will let you!).
