The Taming of the Shrew at American Shakespeare Center

From now until August 12th The American Shakespeare Center is presenting The Taming of the Shrew. In this play, Lucentio loves Bianca, but society’s rules (and her father’s bad temper) prevent her marrying until her older sister Katherina weds. But Katherina is strong-willed, outspoken, and not interested in marriage – three strikes against any woman in an era where females were considered property and required to be submissive. How much has changed in the 400 years since this play was published? Shakespeare’s misogynistic masterwork is presented through new eyes in American Shakespeare Center’s fresh staging.
