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.
