Shrew

A wry, clever and provocative twist on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, this award-winning new solo show comes to Hong Kong following an acclaimed transatlantic tour.

Katharina – or Katharine, or Kate, or the Shrew, she isn’t sure which – is trapped.

She laughs.  She rails.  She throws things.  She reminisces.

About her father, who never seemed to care.  About her sister, who figured it all out better than she did.  And – most and least – about her husband, who made it all happen and who destroyed it all in equal measure. 

She is equal parts funny, sad and repulsive. 

She is a tragic figure stuck in a comedy. 

She is waiting for her audience to come back.

Above all, she asks what it means to be someone, what it means to be a woman, and what it means to be trapped in our own underwhelming destinies. 

Winner of Best Actor and nominated for Best Production and Best New Writing at Buxton Fringe Awards.
