“ I had the opportunity to watch a virtual table reading of "Kate, Untamed" as part of the Playwrights' Arena's Summer Reading Series 2020 (I am one of the ten playwrights whose work was chosen for this series). Sean Abley's play is a genre-bending, rapid-fire, hilarious dissection of the Bard's problematic (i.e., sexist) "The Taming of the Shrew." Abley's mastery of language--both contemporary and Shakespearean--is sharp and revealing. The actors were brilliant as they played several different characters, changing voices and demeanor at breakneck speed. I can't wait to see a full production of the terrific play. ”
