Shakespeare meets the Bullingdon Club, here’s the Taming of the Shrew like you’ve never seen it before! With pompous school boys, overbearing fathers and one trailblazing, rule-breaking woman, prepare to be transported to the whimsical setting of the British upper class for a night like no other.

Everyone wants to marry the beautiful Bunty, right?! Well, it’s not as easy as it seems when you have Katherine as your big sister who says a big ‘NO’ to any man’s expectations. Tensions rise when their dad declares a ban on Bunty’s marriage until Katherine is wed, catapulting us into a world of passion, pursuing and power dynamics, with a dash of comedy thrown in the mix too.

Over the course of one evening, our ten talented actors explore the themes of love, oppression and the place of a woman in a man’s world. Who, at the end of it all, will gain Bunty, and will Katherine remain untamed? Join us at the Bristol Improv Theatre on April 24th and 25th to find out!
