Synopsis
Paola Dionisotti gives her personal views of the play which she sees as an intricate weave of farce and wit shot with black threads of mental cruelty, as Kate and Petruchio enact their 'battle of the sexes'. But who Is the victor; and what is the victory? Dionisotti played Katherina in Michael Bogdanov’s celebrated 1978 Royal Shakespeare Company production
Shakespeare: The Animated Tales | The Taming of the Shrew
Shakespeare's witty and fast-moving comic battle of the sexes is given a fresh airing in puppet animation. Headstrong Kate and domineering Petruchio seem an unlikely pairing, just one aspect of a play about change and the magical transformations that theatre can produce.
The Taming of the Shrew
Adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy about a feisty, headstrong woman who is eventually tamed by her new husband. Starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
