The Taming of the Shrew at The Modern Theatre at Suffolk University

Stage and Cinema - Highly Recommended

"...What to do about The Taming of the Shrew, a play that seems to glorify the subjugation of women? Actors' Shakespeare Project offers an intriguing and very entertaining answer. Under the direction of ASP Artistic Director Christopher V. Edwards, this cast - with only one male performer, Michael Broadhurst as Christopher Sly/Katherine - turns the script on its head to offer a delightful skewering of toxic masculinity. Designer Ben Lieberson sets the tale in Bottom's Dream, a 1970s Boston disco bar complete with disco ball and cigarette machine. Elizabeth Cahill's disco soundtrack and Chelsea Kerl's seventies-era costuming (plaid pants!) are groovy fun."
