Production History

The Taming of the Shrew
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Ceal Phelan
March 30 - April 29, 2007

An all-male cast gives new energy to the lusty sparring between Katherine, Padua's town shrew, and the capricious, oddball bachelor Petruchio. This bold re-imagining of Shakespeare's famous battle of the sexes returns to the gender-bending roots of Shakespeare's own time!

"Fast and funny!" –Philadelphia City Paper

"Immensely entertaining!" –Philadelphia Weekly

"The Lantern's production has splendid playful energy and its joie de vivre is contagious." –Curtain Up
