"The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare is a comedic play that kicks off with a drunken beggar tricked into thinking he's nobility, but quickly shifts to the story of Katherina, a sharp-tongued woman, and Petruchio, a determined man set on taming her wild spirit. Their relationship dives into the expectations of men and women in marriage, as the story plays with the ideas of what it meant to fit into society back then. As Petruchio pursues Katherina, her sister Bianca finds herself surrounded by hopeful suitors, adding another layer of romance to the mix. The play uses witty banter and funny situations to explore the tricky sides of love and what people thought was normal in that society.
