Directed by Maria Gaitanidi, this adaptation of the Taming of the Shrew is unique and experimental in its portrayal of a timeless classic. Purchase your tickets now to be transported back to the 16th century in the Globe Theatre itself.

Daughters of the wealthy man named Padua, headstrong Katherina, the shrew, and her sister Bianca, are ready to marry. However, Katherina, the eldest sister, must marry first before the youngest is able to marry. Katherina is courting Petruchio, who ‘tames’ Katherina into being a more compliant, ‘ideal’ wife.
