About the show

As part of its annual summer Bryant Park Shakespeare Festival, The Drilling Company presents Shakespeare's comedic masterpiece on love, marriage and cruelty. More…

A strong-willed, wild and perverse couple is hell-bent on confusing and outwitting each other in this screwball comedy by the Bard.
