Taming of the Shrew
presented by Mysterious Entity Theatre
The
Taming of the Shrew has been said to present challenges to contemporary
artists and audiences. Can we simply enjoy a comedy that looks to
present-day eyes like an abusive husband-wife relationship? In this
Mysterious Entity production, a troupe of travelling players enacts
the play for an eccentric Lord, with surprising results. We invite
audiences to enjoy the sparkling comedy and social commentary of one
of Shakespeare's liveliest works.
Kate Story who has adapted and is directing this work, is a published
writer, performer, and choreographer who has been twice nominated
(2004 and 2006) for the Ontario Arts Council’s K.M. Hunter Artists
Award, and in 2005 (as part of Peterborough’s centennial celebrations)
was named one of the region’s 100 most important performing artists.
