The Third show of our 2009/10 Season at the Venetian:

Taming of the Shrew
& A Woman's Prize

Bag & Baggage's world-premiere adaptation of these two works, written by William Shakespeare and his contemporary John Fletcher. The two pieces are adapted into one show and directed by Artistic Director Scott Palmer, performed together at each performance - with the same cast playing the matching roles in each of the two stories.

Petruchio tempers Katherine into submission in the classic Shrew, but then the tables turned in A Woman's Prize (or The Tamer Tamed), written as a sequel and reply to Shrew, and considered by many to be a proto-feminist play! In this original adaption the two stories weave together into one hysterical battle of the sexes.
