"The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare is a witty comedy about love and marriage in a time of strict rules. The story begins with a prank played on a drunk named Christopher Sly, who is tricked into thinking he's a rich lord. Then, the story moves to Baptista Minola, a father in Padua, who won’t let his sweet daughter Bianca marry until his sharp-tongued daughter Katherina finds a husband. Several men want to marry Bianca, but Katherina's mean personality scares them off, until Petruchio arrives. He decides to marry her and sets out to "tame" her strong will, leading to a funny and wild battle between them that questions what people expect from men and women.
