The Taming of the Shrew By William Shakespeare Directed by Susan McCandless In 2001, MSTW staged a traditional version of The Taming of the Shrew at the Sutter Creek Theatre, starring Julie Anchor and Allen Pontes as Kate and Petruchio. This year, the two will be reunited in a contemporary version of this "battle of-the-sexes love story," east coast style ~ think Jersey Shore meets The Sopranos. Head of the Minola family, Baptista Minola is trying to sell off his two prize possessions ~ his daughters. For his younger daughter, Bianca, there is much interest ~ not so much for Kate. But in respect for the family, Baptista has to make sure his oldest daughter, Katerina, is married first. Not so easy, as she’s an "evil-tempered woman ~ a shrew." Enter Petruchio, sworn to be loyal to Minola, and happy to take care of the Kate "situation." But this is a far more complicated job than he anticipated, and unexpected obsessions get in the way. This is a tale about two misfits finding true contentment with each other. The Taming of the Shrew opens at the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre June 22nd and runs thru July 21st.
