The Taming of the Shrew (Barefoot Shakespeare Co.)
Barefoot Shakespeare Co. presents a free production of the Bard's controversial battle of the sexes comedy in Central Park.
Raw, quick, sharp. That's our Kate and Petruchio. But how did we get here? Men and women look at the world from different lenses, and it comes to a head in a fast, tumultuous, and sexy spectacle. This streamlined production is set in the 1950s and staged alfresco.
