~THE
TAMING OF THE SHREW~ |
||
SHAKESPEARE ON THE POND |
||
~A rich Paduan merchant has two daughters -- the gentle, lovable Bianca, and the razor-tongued Katharina. And though Bianca has several suitors, she may not marry until the elder Kate has found a husband. When the boorish Petruchio announces his willingness to marry any woman with a large enough dowry, Bianca's dilemma seems to be solved. But is it possible Petruchio has met his match in the wild Kate? Come join the wedding festivities as an exciting cast of players bring to life this passionate celebration of love in a knockabout farce which examines the oldest of relationships. Pack an evening picnic, grab a blanket, and share with us this truly unique experience in live outdoor theatre performed in the idyllic setting of the hills, woods, and pond located behind the RHS Performing Arts Center. |

"...
the battle of the sexes as a boiterous farce, and the result is a noisy,
politically incorrect, irresistibly funny romp!"
