RSC: The Taming of the Shrew
em Barbican
In this radical take on Shakespeare’s fierce and energetic comedy of gender, Baptista Minola is seeking to marry off her two sons, the sweet-tempered Bianco and the rebellious Katherine. Cue an explosive courtship and a keenly witty portrayal of hierarchy and control. Taking inspiration from the novel The Power by Naomi Alderman, Justin Audibert directs a revelatory The Taming of the Shrew, set in a matriarchal world, with sumptuous Elizabethan costumes. The RSC’s London production of The Taming of the Shrew is kindly supported by Cockayne – Grants for the Arts and the London Community Foundation. ★★★★ ‘A landmark production as women take charge’ Evening Standard ★★★★ ‘Deftly provocative and exuberantly entertaining’ The Times ★★★★ ‘Beautiful…revelatory…wonderful’ Whatsonstage ★★★★ ‘Funny…eye-opening and illuminating’ Whatsonstage ★★★★ ‘Justin Audibert’s RSC production extracts every laugh from the subplot’ The Sunday Times
