A fiery courtship becomes a comic battle of wills in this raucous romance of wit and wordplay. One of Shakespeare's most popular plays, The Taming of the Shrew examines the comedy of courtship of a beautiful but sharp-tempered woman and her persistent suitor. The story centers on two sisters and their suitors. Katherina, the elder daughter, is beautiful but so sharp-tongued that no man shows interest. Bianca is sought by many, but cannot marry until Katherina is wed. Petruchio appears, seeking a wife, and is smitten with Katherina. Their stormy courtship unfolds as a battle of wits and wills.
