What a time for THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. It's a brave choice given its divisive, misogynistic text, but Shakespeare Theatre Company pulls it off under the bold direction of Ed Sylvanus Iskander. With an all-male cast, and featuring the contemporary pop music of Tony winner Duncan Sheik, this is Shakespeare with a decidedly modern sensibility.

Ryan Rilette directs extraordinary cast in riveting drama.

Tommy is a perpetually down-on-his-luck, 50-something Irishman, who rents a squalid room in his drunkard uncle Maurice's Dublin home. Estranged from his wife and children, he spends his days scraping by with Doc, his quirky best friend, occasional roommate, and fellow business schemer. One night he finds himself turned into a knight in not-so-shining armor when he rescues a prostitute damsel named Aimee after she is beaten on the street. The four misfits settle into a dysfunctional state of co-habitation and co-dependency until Aimee's abusive ex Kenneth tracks her down to begin the group's inevitable--yet miraculously uplifting--downfall.

It is a chilling conclusion when Kimberly Scott repeats the text of the prologue again at the end of ROMEO AND JULIET while standing over the dead bodies of the lovers. You can hear the bitter warning in her voice as she slowly looks from one end of the stage to the other at two fathers who have paid the price of their feud in blood. As her weighty words hang in the air, the lights dim and Shakespeare Center of Los Angeles's magnificent production fades out.
