About this Event

Canberra’s very own Lakespeare is delighted to be partnering with the Belconnen Arts Centre to bring its special brand of outdoor Shakespeare to Belconnen and the comfort of indoors, at the Belco Arts Centre for two nights only. So book a seat, and let our very fine ‘Shrew crew’ entertain you with a night of battling of wits and biting satire.

For more information about the show or to buy tickets please visit our website.

Shakespeare’s infamous battle of the sexes gets turned on its head in this bold and energetic version of The Taming of the Shrew, directed by Karen Vickery. Inspired by a concept by The Playwrought Project (recently performed at Sydney’s Wharf Theatre), this is a world where women do the taming. With suitors lining up for a chance to woo the agreeable Bianco, their mother declares there will be no marriage until the older hot-headed Christopher (Kit) is wed first. The limits of love are tested, and satire and mischief abound, as the cunning Petruchia takes on the daunting task of courting this sharp-tongued ‘shrew’.
