PlaysShakespeare

an absurd carnival comes to the globe

Passions run deep in The Taming of the Shrew, returning to the Globe this summer in an uproarious new production from Jude Christopher who makes their Globe debut as a director.

Not to be defeated he sets out to conquer her once and for all, surprising himself when he falls irretrievably in love with her at the same time...
