San Francisco's prize-winning American Conservatory Theater's rowdy commedia dell'arte production incorporates slapstick, pratfall and earthy humor into William Shakespeare's comedy about the two unmarried daughters of a wealthy Italian merchant. While daughter Bianca is genteel and popular, daughter Kate is foul-tempered and strong-willed. No one dares to marry Kate, until Petruchio arrives in Padua and tries his hand at courtship. "delivered with such clarity." --The New York Times. With Fredi Olster, Marc Singer, Stephen St. Paul, Sandra Shotwell, and William Paterson.

Reader Reviews
This production of "The Taming of the Shrew" is so much fun to watch. This is one flimed stage production that really works -- they often don't. The staging and costuming are really well done and the acting is superb. I can't believe the way these players can precisely execute all their timed pratfalls while speaking flawless Shakespearean iambic pentameter. Their athleticism is amazing. They all really appear to be enjoying themselves, which makes this production shine. It is almost two hours long, but the time flew by.

This is one of Shakespeare's bawdier plays, so if you're planning to watch it with your children, as I did, check it out first. Most things will fly right over the heads of younger children and young teens, I imagine. Hopefully over the heads of older teens, too.

This was filmed in 1976, but it is timeless entertainment. I highly recommend it and plan to use it in a Shakespeare class I am teaching for a group of high school aged homeschoolers.
