SUMMARY:The Globe Theatre's "The Taming of the Shrew"
DESCRIPTION:Leap back in time to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre with this hilarious filmed stage production of The Taming of the Shrew. Filmed live on the Globe stage in London\, this lauded production recreates the energy\, staging\, and audience connection of Shakespeare’s original theatre\, offering a glimpse of how his plays may have looked and sounded in his own time. \nIn Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedy\, two wealthy sisters must be married off. The modest\, demure Bianca has no shortage of suitors\, but who on earth will take the wild\, ungovernable\, shrewish Katherina? Only the gold-digging Petruchio\, a man as maddeningly strong-willed as Katherina herself\, is equal to the task of bringing her to the altar. \nThis event is recommended for ages 13 and up. \nWant more Shakespeare? Catch a screening of 10 Things I Hate About You followed by a Q+A with the film’s screenwriter on Friday\, July 10\, to compare a modern retelling with a performance rooted in the traditions of Shakespeare’s own stage. \n\nPhoto by Manuel Harlan.
