Synopsis

William Shakespeare is widely considered to have been the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s greatest dramatist. More than 400 years after Shakespeare’s death, his plays are still performed more than any other playwright and have been translated into every major language in the world. Whether it be Shakespeare’s tragedies, comedies, or histories, it is difficult not to immediately recognize his work and almost all students worldwide will have read some of his classics. The Taming of the Shrew is a comedy that centers around the courtship of Petruchio and the headstrong Katherina.
