Queer Classics' THE TAMING OF THE SHREW Opens 6/6 at Hollywood Fringe Festival
The Queer Classics production of William Shakespeare's controversial and often polarizing commedia dell'arte comedy The Taming of the Shrew is set to open on Saturday, June 6 at 7pm. Conceived and directed by Casey Kringlen, this unique re-imagined exploration of gender expression in the comedic style of I Love Lucy comes to the 2015 Hollywood Fringe Festival for six performances only.
Following opening night, remaining performance dates and times are Thursday 6/11 at 10:30pm; Thursday 6/18 at 5pm; Friday, June 19 at 5pm; Saturday 6/20 at 2pm; and Sunday 6/21 at 3:30pm. The performance running time will be 80 minutes.
In the Queer Classics version of modern times, Kate and Petruchio might identify as trans*, but the 1950s are a completely different world. In this new and sexy adaptation, the lead lovers explore their expression of gender in a time before there were labels to define it.
Queer Classics is dedicated to sharing classic stories re-imagined through a queer lens - art for the LGBTQ community and its supporters. Visit www.queerclassics.com.
