Mon, 10 September 2007  Director Rebecca Bayla Taichman discusses her production of the Shakespeare Theatre Company's The Taming of the Shrew. With The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare gives us the improbable courtship of the fiery-tongued Katherine by the arrogant Petruchio. But unlike Shakespeare’s other romantic comedies, the play does not stop with the wedding. Shakespeare considers the institution of marriage, the rifts between men and women, and the rough journey toward love. One of Shakespeare’s earliest and most popular comedies, The Taming of the Shrew bursts with disguise, deception and devilment. September 25 to November 18, 2007 Lansburgh Theatre (450 7th St. NW, Washington D.C.)
