It’s carnival season this summer as Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew arrives at the Globe Theatre in full force! A vivacious and colourful comedy, don’t miss this spectacular adaption of a much-loved classic. 

What is The Taming of the Shrew about?

Young lover, Lucentio is determined to win the beautiful Bianca’s hand in marriage, however when Bianca’s father declares that it will only happen once her older sister Katherina is wedded, his chances seem slim. The competition to mould the fiercely independent Katherina into an obedient wife begins with the larger-than-life Pertruchio who takes on this equally sizable challenge.

Plese bear in mind

The play contains sexual references and misogynistic themes and language.
