Arrows & Traps Present Gender-Inverted THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, 5/26-6/20
Critically acclaimed theatre company Arrows & Traps, formerly known as The Shakespeare Sessions, are proud to announce the The Taming of the Shrew, the first in their Love in a Time of War season of Shakespeare plays at the New Wimbledon Studio this summer.
Staged as a play within a play, where roles are swapped and lines are traded, the company re- imagine The Taming of the Shrew with a full cast gender inversion that flips the whole story on its head. The result is a fiery, visceral and brutal comedy about a scathing sexual war of attrition. This is the Shakespeare that Shakespeare would have loved - a new take on an old story, protean and thrillingly articulate; a physical spectacle of spit and sawdust, packed full with luscious, venomous wit.
With previous accolades including multiple 5 star reviews & critical acclaim, Arrows & Traps' new season at the New Wimbledon Studio starts with a gender-bending The Taming of the Shrew and continues with a futuristic All's Well That Ends Well, and will end with a grisly Titus Andronicus.
