The Taming of the Shrew
$15.00
$10.00
Large Cast: 13 male* roles, 7 female roles, several optional non-speaking roles
“The Taming of the Shrew” is one of the most popular plays written by Shakespeare, but also one of his most controversial for modern audiences. My interpretation of the play centers around the power of love to change even the most unlovable people. I also feel like there is a lot to learn from the play about unselfishness and unconditional love in marriage relationships. True love really CAN conquer all-- even a shrew!
