Shakespeare’s most outrageous comedy, The Taming Of The Shrew follows the volatile relationship of strong-willed Katherina and her equally determined counterpart Petruchio.

The wealthy Baptista has two daughters, both of whom he wants to be married. The good-natured and demure Bianca has no shortage of offers, but Baptista will only allow her to marry if her sister, the strong-willed and perverse Katherina, does the same. The gold-digging Petruchio, an equally strong-minded bachelor, takes it upon himself to tame Katherina in an attempt to get her to the altar.

Directed by Toby Frow, The Taming Of The Shrew is the Globe’s longest running play in the 2012 season.
