The Taming of the Shrew

7 FEBRUARY – 1 MARCH 2018 The Taming of the Shrew The Taming of the Shrew comes to life under the stars with a meeting of classical text with a modern twist in this dark comedy of Kate, a headstrong woman, and her tempestuous relationship with Petruchio, the man who is set on wooing and winning her. Sixty-two years after its first performance on the Maynardville stage, Tara Notcutt makes history with an all-female cast in this production that looks at matters of gender, marriage and family.
