Top Dog Theatre Presents TAMING OF THE SHREW Through Feb 20
by Sarah Moore - February 17, 2011
Continuing the tradition of bringing Shakespeare alive and accessible in the open air, Top Dog Theatre returns with a fine evening of Shakespearean entertainment and comedy. Set within a dream, several stories are told simultaneously with interconnected, layered plots and sub-plots. Baptista Minola refuses to allow his youngest daughter to be courted until her older sister, Kate, is safely wed. The problem being, that Kate is sharp-tongued, ill-tempered and shrewish. Although she has a considerable dowry, no suitors come to call on Kate - until Petruchio arrives on the scene.
