SUMMARY:The Taming of the Shrew
DESCRIPTION:The Taming of the Shrew \nWelcome to a tale of deception\, disguise\, and desire.\n \nThe richest man in town has two daughters and one big problem: he refuses to marry the youngest\, Bianca\, until the eldest\, Katherina\, is married first. Much to her family’s dismay\, Katherina repeatedly – and violently – rejects the men interested in her and her wealth\, and refuses to sacrifice her independence. When a mysterious gentleman enters the mix\, suddenly Kate sees that surrender is no sacrifice. Perhaps there is strength in submission.\n \nArtistic Director of Remy Bumppo Theatre Company Marti Lyons (Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner) turns William Shakespeare’s classic inside out\, with a fresh interpretation focused on feminine desire. This is not your standard Shrew.\n \nPlease Note: This adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew engages with mature themes—including desire\, sexuality\, and power dynamics.\n \nAccessible Performances:\n\n\nASL Interpretation: Saturday\, December 6 at 2:00pm\nTouch Tour: Sunday\, December 7 at 12:30pm\nAudio Description and Open Captioning: Sunday\, December 7 at 2:00pm
