About the book

William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew is a comedy centred on the courtship of the strong-willed Katherina by the equally forceful Petruchio. Alongside their combative relationship runs a second plot involving Katherina's younger sister Bianca and a group of competing suitors. Through disguise, verbal battles and theatrical games, the play explores marriage, gender roles, social expectations, power and performance in ways that continue to provoke debate.
