Shrew November 9 to 11 based on The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare directed by Julia Jarcho '03 produced by Kathy Bencowitz '03 The Kronauer Space
This adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew features only four actors, one for Petruchio ("the tamer"), one for Kate ("the shrew"), one for Kate's sister Bianca and one for everyone else. This should be the perfect environment for the repartee between Kate and Petruchio, in the Shakespearean play that just might qualify for the record of most insults per square inch. But with lines like, "Thy husband is thy life, thy lord, thy keeper" in the conclusion, the director has some explaining to do to a modern audience. This production takes the approach that the play is more of a love story than a polemic on submission to one's husband. The show will also use movement and music to drive at the heart of why Kate changes from perennial bitch to adoring spouse.
