The Taming of the Shrew

William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew will tickle both your funny bone and your perceptions! Despite all its puns, dirty jokes, and wild physical comedy, the play hides dark themes: sexism, degradation, domestic violence, and more. In this production, all the male characters are put into the female (subservient) roles, and the female characters into the male (dominant) roles. The world of this play is now entirely a woman’s world — always has been, always will be. Women are the masters of the army and politics. They are the explorers, scholars, and, most importantly, rulers of the house. In this world, it is a matriarch who carries the power in a family.
