Actors Ensemble of Berkeley presents William Shakespeare's THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, adapted and directed by Jay Manley and Jane Goodwin, free-of-charge in the John Hinkel Park Amphitheater, weekends + holidays August 16th - September 1st at 4 p.m.
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW is one of Shakespeare's funniest comedies, involving the "taming" of the very independent Kate by the complex and charming Petruchio. Lauded for it's humor, "Taming" is also challenging because the nature of Kate's and Petruchio's relationship is often interpreted in a simplistic and mysogynistic fashion - though this interpretation is by no means the only one - come see how our directors along with our heady group of actors meet the challenge!
