The Taming of the Shrew

About the show

In a play performed as a diversion for the drunken tinker Christopher Sly, Petruchio courts and marries Katherina, a headstrong woman, then uses deprivation and contradiction to compel her compliance. Meanwhile, Bianca's suitors pursue her through disguises and competing offers. At the end, Katherina is the only new wife to answer her husband's call, and Petruchio wins a wager on obedience.
