Derby LIVE present: The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. The finale of Derby Live hat trick of Shakespearean productions.
It is 1850, and the young, newly-married Queen Victoria sits on the throne of England. Another spirited young woman, Katherina, remains unmarried. Her wild and wilful ways are far from acceptable in Victorian society.
Enter Petruchio, middle-aged, handsome, but bankrupt. Seeing a way to restore his fortune, he quickly snares Katherina as his wife. But what follows is not wedded bliss, but the systematic and brutal crushing of her spirit.
This controversial comedy plays out tragically in the finale of Derby LIVE’s hat trick of Shakespearean productions, following 2009’s Much Ado About Nothing and 2010’s The Merchant of Venice.
