THE SCOOP

curst & Shrewd: The Taming of The Shrew Unhinged is a candid, impertinent and downright feminazi look at marriage and mating at the end of the millenium. From the board room to the auction block, Dr. Narrator navigates us through the back alleys of Shakespeare's classic. A collage of music, movement, and text. Kate vs. Petruchio, high slapstick vs. low drama, Shakespeare's text vs. the actor's own words. not shrew. shrew.
