Taming of the Shrew

Shady Shakespeare Theatre Company

August 11-September 17, 2006

Avg. Event Rating (4.8 Stars): Add Review/Comment

In the rough-and-tumble world of the wild, wild west we find the tumultuous love affair of Kate and Petruchio. Thought around town to be a filly who can't be broken, Petruchio sets out to show the local citizens that he has what it takes to bring this wild woman 'round. Little does he know that Fate has a surprise for him and she might not be the only one who gets tamed. Come see the hillarious antics as these two-of-a-kind creatures come face-to-face in the showdown of the year. Location: Sanborn-Skyline Park, 16055 Sanborn Road, Saratoga, 95070

    My husband and I attended the Shady Shakes. production of Taming of the Shrew this past Saturday. What a superb evening of brilliantly acted and directed Theatre. We appreciate so very much the dedication of the Company, Artistic Directors and entire staff for bringing Shakespeare to life in such a professional and enjoyable way. We spoke to many people who were, like us, first time audience members, and each person was amazed and thrilled about their happy evening just as we were. I would encourage the city of Saratoga and any other interested group to underwrite this fine Company. Thanks to everyone involved for giving us FREE Shakespeare in a beautiful setting. Collapse

    Wow! This was my first experience attending this company's performance and I was very impressed with all aspects of this clever production. Setting the play as a Western worked beautifully, and the ability of most of the troupe to maintain the Shakespearian "cadence" of speaking while effecting a Western drawl was spectacular. This company is a treasure. Collapse

    Well-produced shows in a beautiful outdoor setting. And it's FREE! Doesn't get much better than that. If you haven't been before, I'm confident you'll enjoy the Shady experience - and be sure to bring a bottle of wine to enjoy with this year's vintage of Bill. Collapse
