"The Taming of the Shrew" Program

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW SYNOPSIS (spoiler alert!)

Set in the 1880’s Wild West, The Taming of the Shrew is a vibrant, high-energy battle of the sexes.

Drawing from Western cartoons and the raunchy HBO series, Deadwood, ten-gallon hats, poker games, and tumbleweeds are all possible in this rip-roarin’ adaptation of Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedy.

Everyone in Padua knows that Bianca, ever beautiful in curls and petticoats, has no shortage of admirers. The out-of-towner Lucentio, the wealthy landowner Gremio, and the local Hortensio are all hoping to win her hand, but her father insists that she will not marry until her shrewish sister is betrothed. Kate, a bartender at the local saloon, is a foul-mouthed cowgirl with no intentions of settling down.

Bianca's suitors persuade the tough rancher Petruchio to court Kate, agreeing to pay for any costs involved and reminding him of the prized dowry he’d receive if they were wed. Succumbing to the dollar signs, Petruchio marries Kate and carries her off to his home with his ranch hand, Grumio. A long time bachelor, Petruchio’s dilapidated house is in the middle of nowhere and in desperate need of a woman’s touch. Adding to Kate’s discomfort, Petruchio denies his new bride food, sleep, and fresh clothing, whilst continuously singing her praises.

Kate exhaustingly fights Petruchio’s attempts to wear her down into submission, but eventually, her fiery spirit is tamed by love. The couple returns to Padua to find that Lucentio has won the battle for Bianca’s hand and a celebration is called for. During the party, the men enter into a good-natured wager on who has the most obedient wife, issuing each with a series of commands. In a surprising twist, only Kate obeys and promptly lectures everyone on the importance of respect in a relationship.
