Summary
Age range 12+
The Taming of the Shrew: The 30-Minute Shakespeare offers eight scenes from this broad comedy. Opening with Petruchio and Kate’s bawdy war of words, the drama continues with Bianca’s courtship by Lucentio and Hortensio, disguised as pedants. The adaptation climaxes with the outlandish marriage scene, and Petruchio’s relentless ‘taming’ of Kate. The play ends with Kate’s famous speech in praise of women’s submission to their husbands, at once hilarious and provocative.
