Miles Playhouse (Santa Monica, CA)
Shakespeare’s comedy The Taming of the Shrew pits the spirited Katherine against the fortune-seeking Petruchio. Most men steer clear of the famously sharp-tongued Katherine, but Petruchio has agreed to woo and marry her as a favor to his old friend Hortensio. Hortensio is in love with Bianca, Katherine’s younger, more beautiful and more popular sister. The younger sister can only be married after the older one, but Katherine’s notorious temper has left her without marriage prospects, until Petruchio comes along to “tame” her. Through a series of hilarious hi-jinks, Katherine is made to bend to her new husband’s will and she reappears before her disbelieving family transformed into a new woman.
