The Taming of the Shrew

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW

by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s comical battle of the sexes brings Kate and Petruchio head-to-head on the Helfaer stage. Petruchio has come to Padua to find a wealthy wife.  In finding Kate, the daughter of a local merchant, he discovers more than he bargained for!  Not only is Kate a match for his fiery temper and agile wit, she proves to be his perfect partner.  Comical subplots and sidekicks abound.  The Taming of the Shrew plays in rotation with California Suite in our new acting-focused Second Stage Series.
