Event Information

Thinking Cap' Theatre's reimagining of Shakespeare's great tragedy King Lear was named one of the top ten plays of 2018 by Boca Magazine. Now TCT turns to one of Shakespeare's most controversial works, The Taming of the Shrew, a play that has left audiences divided on whether the playwright was a misogynist or a proto-feminist. Made famous in a mid-twentieth century revival that starred real life sparring lovers Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, this comedy epitomizes the age-old battle of the sexes in the tumultuous courtship of the characters Katherina and Petruchio. Thinking Cap's innovative new revival will allow performers and audiences alike to experience and judge different casting and directorial choices in real time to explore our shifting perceptions of what's playable, offensive, or funny.
