We've reached the point where it's unclear if an ethical production of The Taming of the Shrew is still possible for myriad reasons - but the bard left us plenty of material to tear apart, remix, and recycle. This play is a laugh-out-loud, irreverent attempt to "free" the titular shrew from her story - involving audience participation, puppet theatre, improvisation, scenes from completely different plays, and Brechtian flare. It is mind-bendingly metatheatrical at times - but never, ever slows down. I'm exhausted! I'm invigorated! Most importantly, I'm THINKING, which is what good theatre should encourage and inspire. Excellent! ”
