| Description |
Bell Shakespeare Company. Shakespearean comedy. "The story of the shrewish wife is an ancient one. We find it in the Noah medieval miracle plays and in Chaucer's Wife of Bath. Other 'shrew' stories and plays existed in Shakespeare's time, most of them showing her being tamed by physical force, usually a beating. Shakespeare allows his Kate to have the last word? The play was probably written in 1592". |
