Find out more »Bath Shakespeare Festival presents “Taming of the Shrew”
In Shakespeare’s comedy, “Kate the curst” meets her match in the macho, unpredictable Petruchio. Kates little sister Bianca has no shortage of suitors, but her father will not allow Bianca to marry until he has found a match for wild, disobedient Kate.
