Best Bits

Packed with laughs, love, and music the play explores themes that children will recognise from their own lives and will leave children and adults alike buzzing with the thrill of live theatre. The Taming of the Shrew is a full-scale, fast-paced 90-minute performance within the glory of the Globe Theatre, the architecture for which Shakespeare wrote. 

A story of sibling rivalry, perceptions and expectations of women, their role in society and the power of fathers and husbands, challenges our thinking about relationships and the individual’s right to decide their own destiny. If you thought Beatrice and Benedick’s courtship was a ‘merry war’ then Katherine and Petruchio’s is a savage battle

  • Specially created for young people

  • A classic Shakespearian comedy for all ages
