Passions are overflowing across Padua in Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and the Bard’s most iconic lovers and haters are all competing for a successful ‘happy ever after.’
Bianca is the most desirable single woman in town, but the one thing standing between her and a gaggle of eligible suitors is her hot-tempered elder sister, Katharina. That is until Pertruchio - eager for a challenge and for a wife - makes it his mission to ‘tame’ Kate. Watch three actors bring this infamous farce on love and marriage to life and confront the power we have to change and be changed by the people in our lives - for better and for worse
