In a reimagined 1590, society is a matriarchy. Baptista Minola is seeking to marry off her two sons, the sweet-tempered Bianco and the rebellious Katherine. Cue an explosive courtship and a keenly witty portrayal of hierarchy and control. Shakespeare's fierce, energetic comedy of gender and materialism is turned on its head to offer a fresh perspective on Elizabethan social status and power, directed by Justin Audibert.
