The JOOT Theatre Company
John Fletcher's The Tamer Tamed
(a very humorous response to Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew)
Performed 14 & 15 March 2008
Our story begins in Dundee (Texas), where the west is just about as wild as it gets. You many remember our hero, Petruccio, famed for taming Katherina, his shrew of a wife. Katherina passed away a few years back, and Petruccio has found himself a new wife: Maria. The story unfolds on the night of their wedding, as Petruccio looks forward to his evening's 'activities' with none of the trouble he would have had from his last wife...
