The Taming of the Shrew
SecondStory Repertory
16587 NE 74th Street Redmond
Shakespeare's rowdy screwball comedy, The Taming of the Shrew, follows the treacherous road to romance for a strong-willed pair of lovers who've met their ultimate match in each other. Until older sister Kate has a husband, sweet younger sister, Bianca, cannot marry -- but feisty, fiery-tongued Kate rejects every suitor who tries to woo her. Along comes Petruchio, who's more than willing to take a chance at Kate's sizable dowry. His efforts to "tame" her remain a controversial aspect of this tale, reminding us of the expected gender roles of 400 years past, and how far we have and haven't come since.
