About

"I see a woman may be made a fool If she had not a spirit to resist." Act 3.2 Kate must have a husband before her sister Bianca is wed; Petruchio is the man to tame her. With elaborate planning and chaotic execution, the suitors set the stage to tame a 'curst' shrew and win Bianca's hand. With disorder, deception and disguise, The Taming of the Shrew has all the makings of a classic Shakespearean comedy and yet, underpinned by misogyny and domestic abuse, contains some of the most hard-hitting themes of the canon. The EUSC’s 11th annual production will address these themes head-on in a frank, bold retelling of a controversial classic. Content warning: references to domestic abuse. Poster art by Alex Harwood. Original photography by Gavin Smart.
