The Taming of the Shrew

Baptista Minola, a wealthy politician, has two daughters: mild sweetheart Bianca, and headstrong, opinionated Katharina. Newly come to town to visit his friend, Hortensio, Petruchio is desperate for money and agrees to marry Katharina for her dowry alone… but soon realises he has more than met his match!

Shakespeare’s battle of the sexes gets a bold makeover in this fast-paced production brimming with sparkling humour, lively physical comedy, and unforgettable characters. Will Katharina, ‘the shrew’, be tamed, or is there more to the story?

Performances beginning 3rd June 2025
