Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum (Topanga, CA)
Enjoy a classic Shakespearean battle of the sexes while soaking up some summer sunshine at Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum. Hortensio is head-over-heels in love with Bianca. But her father, the wealthy Italian merchant Baptista Minola, decrees that the younger of his two daughters cannot be wed before her strong-willed, less popular and less beautiful sister, Katherina, is married. Problem is, no man in Padua will marry the hardheaded “Katherina the shrew.” That is, until the fortune-hunting Petruchio arrives from Verona and agrees to woo and wed Katherina (for a sizable dowry, of course). Singing, dancing, and other surprises add to the fun as the battle of the sexes ensues. Through a series of hilarious hi-jinks, Katherina bends to her new husband’s will and she reappears before her disbelieving family transformed into a new woman.
