Step inside an absurd carnival this summer as Shakespeare’s vicious comedy The Taming of the Shrew arrives in the Globe Theatre.



Lucentio is determined to win the beautiful Bianca’s hand in marriage. When her father declares that it will only happen once her older sister Katherina is wedded, the competition to mould the fiercely independent Katherina into obedient wifey material begins.



The front runner is larger-than-life Petruchio. But with Katherina as proud as she is, it’s going to take shocking levels of manipulation to win her as his bride…



Following 2022’s ‘brilliantly provocative’ ★★★★ (The Guardian) Titus Andronicus, Director Jude Christian debuts in the Globe Theatre with Shakespeare’s challenging early comedy that asks us where we draw the line between entertainment and complicity, reality and the absurd?



'For I am born to tame you, Kate,

And bring you from a wild Kate to a Kate

Comfortable as other household Kates.’

– Act II, scene 1

BWW Reviews: St. Louis Shakespeare's THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
by Chris Gibson - Jul 20, 2010


To an audience today, William Shakespeare's THE TAMING OF THE SHREW might be considered politically incorrect. After all, it's a tale about a man who takes on the challenge of breaking the will of a strong-minded woman in order to provide him with a subservient wife. I'm thinking this isn't exactly a plot that feminists will find particularly inspiring. But, it's important to look at things within their historical context, especially when you're going to attempt to swallow that kind of concept. St. Louis Shakespeare is currently presenting a colorful and generally engaging production that plays the whole affair rather tongue-in-cheek.
