Extra Information

• Notes: Shakespeare’s friend John Fletcher wrote this ribald, hilarious, revolutionary comedy in 1610, and it enjoyed constant success until Victorian prudishness ended its triumphant run. The Tamer Tamed is a sequel to Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and works on the assumption that Petruchio and Kate quarrelled constantly until her death. It begins on the day Petruchio marries Maria, who resolves to succeed where Kate failed. Progress Theatre will be taken over by formidable women and desperate men, not to mention two bears and a very large sausage. Can you afford to miss it?
