STC Academy: The Taming of the Shrew

The Taming of the Shrew Or, Petruchio is Kated, Directed by Shanara Gabrielle, By William Shakespeare

In this sharp-tongued Shakespeare classic, the tables are turned and the taming gets tangled. Petruchio may arrive ready to dominate, but Kate’s no easy prey—and might just be holding the reins all along. Meanwhile, Lucentia poses as a tutor and schemes to woo the radiant Bianca with help from her quick-witted servant Trania, who’s playing Lucenti-o in public and pulling strings in secret. Gender bends. Power flips. Love gets messy. Nothing is what it first appears.
