The Taming of the Shrew – June 17th.
We are thrilled to again be hosting the performers from Shakespeare in the Squares on June 17th. This year’s show will be Taming of the Shrew. Shakespeare’s comedy battle of wits, wills and wild romance featuring toe-tapping pop classics.
Synopsis:
The rules in Padua are clear. Nobody can marry the highly sought-after Bianca until a husband is found for her elder sister Katherina. The men in Padua are all intimidated by Katherina and terrified by the idea of marriage to her. Romantic life for both sisters is at a standstill.
With the arrival of newcomers Lucentio and Petruchio, Padua is overcome with the potential for resolution. Can Petruchio possibly be a husband for Katherina? Will Bianca be able to evade her mother’s watchful eye and find true love?
Disguise, distortion and deception are all on the menu as the outsiders join the men of Padua in a struggle to find their feet among the Minola sisters and their mother, the powerful Baptista.
Bring your picnic, wine, sunglasses and participatory spirit and join Shakespeare in the Squares this summer for this comic battle of wits, wills and wild romance featuring toe-tapping pop classics from the ‘50s and ‘60s.
