The Taming of the Shrew March 3, 2013

Performed by The Aquila Theatre Company, Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew tells a timeless battle-of-the-sexes story. Bianca, beautiful daughter of a lord, is eligible for marriage but cannot be courted until her elder sister, Katherina, finds a husband. Katherina’s quick temper and acerbic wit, however, frighten off all suitors. Bianca’s beaus hire newcomer Petruchio to seduce and “tame” Katherina. Famed for its linguistic acrobatics, The Taming of the Shrew stands as one of Shakespeare’s sharpest and funniest plays.
