Taming of the Shrew
Baptista Minola has two daughters: the desirable but slightly dippy Bianca and the older and hot-tempered Katherina, who terrorises the household with her sharp tongue.
While Bianca has a number of would-be suitors, Baptista has decreed she can’t be married until Katherina is wed. Something Katherina has vowed never to do!
Presented by an all-female-identifying cast, this fresh take on The Taming of the Shrew brings a bold new energy to the classic comedy, flipping the script on traditional gender roles, offering a hilarious and unexpected twist on the power struggles and romantic entanglements that drive the story. There are disguises, false identities, schemes and dreams but in the end love conquers all!
