Pack your snacks, blankets and lawn chairs and head to Wright Park for a free outdoor production of Shakespeare's “The Taming of the Shrew.”
Get ready for another summer full of family fun and FREE theater in the great outdoors in Seattle-area parks. GreenStage celebrates its 31st season with Shakespeare in the Park plays Henry IV, part 2 and The Taming of the Shrew, and Backyard Bard shows The Merry Wives of Windsor and Measure For Measure. The season runs July 12–August 17, 2019.
About The Taming of the Shrew:
A troupe of Women’s Suffragists perform one of Shakespeare’s earlier comedies as part of a raucous protest demonstration for Women’s Rights. The story of strong-willed, outspoken Katherine and arrogant Petruchio’s attempts to tame her into marriage at the entreaty of the men of Padua makes for rich material as Shakespeare’s Shrews tackle marriage, gender roles, and social hierarchies. But what is a little social commentary without a healthy helping of laughs and a dash of love?
