The Taming of the Shrew

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

Lucentio is determined to win the beautiful Bianca's hand in marriage. When her father declares that it will only happen once her older sister Katherina is wedded, the competition to mould the fiercely independent Katherina into obedient wifely material begins. The front runner is larger-than-life Petruchio. But with Katherina as proud as she is, it's going to take shocking levels of manipulation to win her as his bride...
