Shakespeare’s infamous battle of the sexes gets turned on its head in this bold and energetic version of The Taming of the Shrew, directed by Karen Vickery.

Inspired by a concept by The Playwrought Project (recently performed at Sydney’s Wharf Theatre), this is a world where women do the taming. With suitors lining up for a chance to woo the agreeable Bianco, their mother declares there will be no marriage until the older hot-headed Christopher (Kit) is wed first. The limits of love are tested, and satire and mischief abound, as the cunning Petruchia takes on the daunting task of courting this sharp-tongued ‘shrew’.

Pialligo Estate provides the perfect backdrop for the action this summer.
