This is one of Shakespeare's most famous and popular comedies. The story follows the fortunes of the beastly Petruchio as he attempts to tame the wild beauty of Kate and claim not just her hand in marriage but a slice of her foolish father's gold. Meanwhile Kate's young sister is chased by a string of would-be husbands who will resort to any trick, or adopt any disguise, to claim their pretty prize.
