The Taming of the Shrew: A Kinky Retelling

What if he’s the shrew, and he enjoys the taming?

Katherina Minola is full of rage. Rage at the misogynistic society she was born into. Rage at her father for his abusive behaviour and preferential treatment. Rage at her sister for going along with it all.

With her father insisting she marry before the beloved Bianca can, Katharina seems doomed to a cold, loveless marriage with anyone who’ll take her. Until Petruchio, a young gentleman from Verona, comes crawling on hands and knees, with a gentle smile and a twinkle in his eye that screams “Peg Me Mommy.” Can Kate grow to love this unusual man and his unusual proclivities – and maybe even herself in the process? Find out in this heart-felt, kinky adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew – come for the handcuffs, stay for the healing.

Content Awareness: Flashing lights (potential), verbal abuse.

Developed and Produced by the Society of Strangers Theatre Company.

Performed by Paige Hann and Mitch Richman.
