The Taming of the Shrew

Shakespeare's archetypical battle of the sexes pits the fiesty Katherine against the equally brawling Petruchio. Only these two could put each other through so much hell for a match made in heaven. Of our production, Misha Berson of the Seattle Times said, "Wooden O is touring a lean frisky version of the play...it maximize[s] the entertaining aspects of the show."
