this is by far my most favourite 'taming of the shrew' performances absolutely number one in my books

I saw this production at the Globe and enjoyed it immensely. Judi Dench was sitting just nearby and I felt like I was in a scene from Shakespeare in Love!

The Taming of the Shrew is one of my absolute favorite plays! Samantha Spiro (Katherine) and Simon Day (Petruchio) were great as the fiery couple! :)

WONDERFUL! This play has never been one of my favorite Shakespeare plays....until now! Oh, my goodness! This was absolutely WONDERFUL! Loved it! I have this on DVD now and can’t wait to get more Globe on Stage plays. My heart is happy! 💖😁

So glad I’ve got this on DVD. To only see glimpses makes me want to rewatch the whole play again.

Fun Fact: Charles Martinet inspired the voice of Mario from Petruchio.

This is what I watch at school in English so I tried to find it but I can’t find act 3

imagine being a lesbian in shakespeare's time- especially in this 'taming of the shrew. U have 2 choices: 1 - run away to stay alone, die alone. 2- force yourself to like, respect, and maybe eventually love a man.

bit old these two (Kate has the agressive attitude of menopausals here) - but funny nevertheless
