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’. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/bc06f750-b9f3-11f0-b18d-2de9eb7cb3fc-rimg-w1200-h649-dc040308-gmir.jpg Lakespeare is an independent theatre company on a mission to make high-quality theatre accessible to Canberrans and beyond.
