Set in Padua, the play follows Petruchio's humorous quest to win over the strong-willed Katharina, who is deemed a "shrew." As their father insists that Katharina must marry before her sister Bianca can, Petruchio claims he can 'tame' Katharina through unconventional methods. This leads to a transformation in her character, sparking debates about the play's misogynistic themes. Accompanied by a new biography of Shakespeare, this edition highlights the complexities of gender dynamics in the context of the era.
