Bolshoi's TAMING OF THE SHREW Screens at Peterborough Players This Weekend
William Shakespeare's classic comedy, THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, is transformed into a ballet specifically for the Bolshoi. It is presented this Sunday, January 24th at 1pm as part of the Peterborough Players' Arts on Screen series.
Many suitors dream of marrying the lovely and docile Bianca, including Lucentio. However her father will not let anyone marry her before her elder sister, the ill-tempered shrew Katharina, is herself married. French choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot lands a coup with his adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy tailored specifically to the Bolshoi dancers, and achieves a magnetic two hours of breathtaking, nonstop dance unlike any other. Exclusive to the Bolshoi.
The Peterborough Players' Arts on Screen series is presented in stunning NEC high definition digital projection and incomparable Dolby Surround Sound.
