THE TAMING OF THE SHREW by William Shakespeare
A line has been drawn. Sides are being taken.
Let battle commence.
The Mooted Theatre Co. will stage an outdoor
Shakespearean comedy for all the family - THE TAMING OF THE
SHREW.
The ultimate battle of the sexes is commenced in
Shakespeare's most outrageous comedy, as sharp wits and sharper
words are furiously exchanged between suitor Petrucchio and his
would-be bride Katherina. Some call her plain Kate, sometimes Kate
the Cursed, but Petrucchio has a cunning plan to tame her for his
wife. She has other ideas, most of them violent, and none involving
marriage.
Meanwhile little sister Bianca, the apple of her
father's eye, inflames the considerable passion of every eligible
man in town and attracts would-be husbands everywhere she looks.
But daddy won't let that happen until big sister Kate gets a
husband of her own. Deceit and disguise add to the confusion as
mistaken identity and misunderstandings collide with hilarious
consequences.
Packed full of slapstick humour, riotous jokes
and a rogue's gallery of colourful characters, this is Shakespeare
at his most hilarious.
Come and join The Mooted Theatre Co. for two
hours of theatrical summer fun. Bring a picnic, embrace our
wonderful British weather, and enjoy the play that's bound to get
everyone talking.
