The RSC offers a fresh perspective of The Taming of the Shrew, flipping the setting to an old England where women rule.
The Taming of the Shrew
Royal Shakespeare Company
Theater
Although largely humorous with a healthy sense of irony, the ballet tackles a fundamentally serious theme: the search for one’s better half. In a world where authenticity is eroded by convention, finding the perfect partner is no small feat, and Shakespeare’s play remains as relevant as ever. Rejecting male dominance within the couple unit, Jean-Christophe Maillot chose to focus on what’s vital in a romantic relationship.
