A review by thexwalrus
The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare

3.25

there's some REALLY fun wordplay in this - i think there's a lot that i'd consider comedic shakespeare at his best in the text of this play, but overall i was not a huge fan of the overall plot. i appreciate it for what it is - and for the fact that we see not all the women buy into the "taming" business and have a degree of independence - but it's hard to be 100% into this when kate is being forced to obey her husband even though i read her lines as more sarcastic at that point. it made me think, though! and i love a good work of art that makes you think!
