The Bard's Battle-of-the-Sexes Comedy The Taming of the Shrew

Full Price:: $39.00 - $47.00
Our Price:: $19.50 - $23.50

Shakespeare's classic comedy The Taming of the Shrew pits the spirited Katherine against the fortune-seeking Petruchio, who has agreed to woo and marry her as a favor to his old friend Hortensio, who is in love with Bianca, Katherine's younger, more beautiful and more popular sister. The younger sister can only be married after the older one, but Katherine has a notorious temper and thus far no man will have her ... until Petruchio comes along to "tame" her. Setting the Folger Theatre production in the Wild West circa 1880, Helen Hayes Award-winning director Aaron Posner leads real-life husband and wife Cody Nickell and Kate Eastwood Norris in a sparring match enlivened by original music composed and performed by singer-songwriter Cliff Eberhardt.
