The Taming of the Shrew

6.9 102 mins Comedy   Romance   1976
American Conservatory Theater   Broadway Theatre Archive  
Director(s): Kirk Browning William Ball

San Francisco's prize-winning American Conservatory Theater's rowdy commedia dell'arte production incorporates slapstick, pratfall and earthy humor into William Shakespeare's comedy about the two unmarried daughters of a wealthy Italian merchant. While daughter Bianca is genteel and popular, daughter Kate is foul-tempered and strong-willed. No one dares to marry Kate, until Petruchio arrives in Padua and tries his hand at courtship.
