Summary
A comedy of Petruchio's determination to subdue the irascible Katherine and to make her his wife
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A robust and bawdy battle of the sexes, this ever popular comedy captivates audiences with outrageous humor as Katharina, the shrew, engages in a contest of willsâand loveâwith her bridegroom, Petruchio. Their boisterous conflict is set off against a more conventional romantic plot involving the wooing of Katharinaâs lovely and compliant sister, Bianca. Rich with the psychological themes of identity and transformation, the play is quintessentially lighthearted, filled with visual gags, witty repartee, and unmatched theatrical brilliance from Petruchioâs demand, âKiss me, Kate!â to the final spectacle of the wedding feast.
