Description A new look at one of the most accessible and enjoyable of Shakespeare's comedies. Katherine in revolt against parents and neighbours is rescued by the man of her nightmares, Petruchio, that archetype of games-playing, fun-loving freedom. An Elizabethan evening of celebration for the roguish and free-spirited.
