Calliope’s The Taming of the Shrew
If I be waspish, best beware my sting
Shakespeare has written a new comedy! Lucentio arrives in Padua and falls in love with the beautiful Bianca. But Bianca cannot marry until her older sister Katherine is wed. Enter Petruchio: he’s looking for a wife and doesn’t care who she is, as long as she’s rich! Lucentio knows just the lady…the sharp-tongued Katherine. Petruchio decides he’ll “tame” his angry new bride.
Shakespeare has it all worked out! However, independent Rikki and the modern Lady Mary disagree with Shakespeare´s ideals of womanly submission. Tame? Shame! One thing’s for sure: it’s time for DRAMA!
