Taming of the Shrew

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Drew Barr
Performed in the CFA Thompson Theatre

Boy meets girl. Girl can’t marry boy until girl’s spirited and verbally castigating sister is married off. A fortune hunting bachelor is enticed into the scenario, and then all hell breaks loose. Shakespeare’s original battle of the sexes reaches a riotous, fevered pitch when this newlywed husband and wife romp and wrestle for the martial upper hand--a hand which, in the end, surprises and delights them both.
