Join Hudson Warehouse, for their production of The Taming of the Shrew, written by William Shakespeare, and directed by Jesse Michael Mothershed.
In The Taming of the Shrew, we ask, is it truly love at first sight, or love at first fight? Are we looking for love, or for a project? Can we really change someone? Can someone with a strong personality, or will, truly be “tamed”? And such is the case in this Shakespeare classic. Petruchio comes to “wive it weathily in Padua,” and is immediately thrust into the world of “Katherine the curst!” Sparks fly, as do fists and thus begins one of the sharpest, wittiest and sexiest exchanges of wordplay in Shakespeare’s canon. And as the battle rages and the stakes are raised, the question begs asking, “who is actually being tamed?”
The audience is invited to sit on the stone steps leading up to the monument, with the north portico as the primary playing area (though actors may appear elsewhere on the site). A limited number of seat cushions are available. Reservations are not required, and neither are tickets since the performances are free. Performances, which run just under two hours, will be canceled for rain.
