I think it\u2019s very important right now to tell a story of rebellion with a female protagonist. The villain in this piece is not Petruchio\u2014he is her ally. Kate\u2019s conflict is with a society that holds her to a certain expectation: that she will become a goodly wife and pass on a huge dowry to a man.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For this sometimes-controversial play, Anderson has revamped the script so that some of Petruchio\u2019s lines are spoken by Kate\u2014a move Anderson believes honours Shakespeare\u2019s original vision for his characters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the playbill went up for <a href=\"https:\/\/bardonthebeach.org\/2019\/the-taming-of-the-shrew\/\">The Taming of the Shrew<\/a> in Elizabethan times, everyone would have thought they were going to see the comical tale of a marriage in the vein of &#8216;Punch and Judy&#8217; &#8211; but Shakespeare challenged that old trope by staging a profound love story between a husband and wife,\u201d adds Anderson. \u201cHe tells a story of two kindred spirits; two soul mates who are equally matched: mentally and physically. There is no taming in this story.\u00a0 We&#8217;re just watching two people encounter each other, trying to comprehend each other, while they are falling in love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a
