The Taming of the Shrew in London

In this radical take on Shakespeare’s fierce and energetic comedy of gender, Baptista Minola is seeking to marry off her two sons, the sweet-tempered Bianco and the rebellious Katherine. Cue an explosive courtship and a keenly witty portrayal of hierarchy and control.

Taking inspiration from the novel The Power by Naomi Alderman, Justin Audibert directs a revelatory The Taming of the Shrew, set in a matriarchal world, with sumptuous Elizabethan costumes.

The RSC’s London production of The Taming of the Shrew is kindly supported by Cockayne – Grants for the Arts and the London Community Foundation.

★★★★ ‘A landmark production as women take charge’ Evening Standard

★★★★ ‘Deftly provocative and exuberantly entertaining’ The Times

★★★★ ‘Beautiful…revelatory…wonderful’ Whatsonstage

★★★★ ‘Funny…eye-opening and illuminating’ Whatsonstage

★★★★ ‘Justin Audibert’s RSC production extracts every laugh from the subplot’ The Sunday Times

Interesting production with all the gender role reversals.

Thought provoking, a must see

Wonderful adaptation of the original play that makes it more thought provoking but still displays the wonderful original aspects of the Bards play.

A must see!

Troublesome story so to do it as farce seems only appropriate; maybe WS had that in mind after all.

Review: THE TAMING OF THE SHREW at The Barbican Theatre, London

by John Yap | Tuesday, November 12 2019, 15:24

The Taming of the Shrew Shakespeare’s problematic play THE TAMING OF THE SHREW is given a new “revised” production by the Royal Shakespeare Company, in their old London home after performances in Stratford earlier this year. It still remains a problematic play and even more confusing for anyone not familiar with the original play in this “revised” version.
