"In The Taming Of The Shrew two, disguised, competing suitors clamour for the hand of beautiful Bianca whilst gold-digging Petruchio agrees to wed her viciously ill-tempered sister Kate sight-unseen. The difference between marrying for love and marrying for money, however, becomes increasingly difficult to judge. This brash, brutal and darkly comic story pulls no punches."

Review:
"'Propeller [has] ingenious wit and ability to extract energy and humour from almost every line' Independent 'Edward Hall's all-male Propellor company offers plenty of scope for intriguing chime and echo in the plays' treatment of sexual power, the fluid dynamics of domestic life, and the notion that love itself is the grandest illusion of all.' Telegraph"
About the Author:
Propeller is an all male Shakespeare company which mixes a rigorous approach to the text with a modern physical aesthetic. They look for as many ways as possible to inform the physical life of the production with the poetry of the text, giving as much control as possible to the actor in telling the story. Over the last fifteen years, Propeller has performed Shakespeare in over twenty two countries. In 2011 Propeller reached nearly one hundred thousand people worldwide.
