The RSC Presents The Taming of the Shrew
The Royal Shakespeare Company's new production of The Taming of the Shrew comes to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre before going on national tour.
Charismatic and brash Petruchio of Verona is seeking his fortune through his abilities to gain the hand in marriage of a rich woman, and he'll do anything. Katharina and Bianca's father, longing for his daughters to be married, is offering a generous dowry for his daughters' hands, but not until Katharina is tamed and her wild and unruly ways put to bed. Will the flamboyant Petruchio succeed in taming Katharina to a submissive life of domesticity?
Lucy Bailey directs Shakespeare's romantic comedy exploring love, sexual politics and the art of illusion, following her acclaimed production of Julius Caesar at the RSC in 2009. The cast includes David Caves as Petruchio and Lisa Dillon as Katharina.
