Taming of the Shrew

Controversial and sexually charged, The Taming of the Shrew is possibly Shakespeare’s first play, and certainly among the most performed. Is it an examination of brute male domination or a passionate love story with a powerful moral message? To read it is to gain unique insight into a portrait of a marriage as created by a true master.
