The ultimate battle of the sexes is commenced in Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedy, as sharp wits and sharper words are furiously exchanged between suitor Petrucchio and his would-be bride Katherina. Some call her plain Kate, sometimes Kate the Cursed, but Petrucchio has a cunning plan to tame her for his wife. She has other ideas, most of them violent, and none involving marriage.
Meanwhile little sister Bianca, the apple of her father’s eye, inflames the considerable passion of every eligible man in town and attracts would-be husbands everywhere she looks. But daddy won’t let that happen until big sister Kate gets a husband of her own. Deceit and disguise add to the confusion as mistaken identity and misunderstandings collide with hilarious consequences.
Packed full of slapstick humour, riotous jokes and a rogue’s gallery of colourful characters, this is Shakespeare at his most hilarious. Come and join The Mooted Theatre Co. for two hours of theatrical summer fun. Bring a picnic, embrace our wonderful British weather, and enjoy the play that’s bound to get everyone talking all the way home.
