Shrew'
me
A battle of the sexes opens
on August 3 when the
Repetory Theatre presents
Will iam Shakespeare's "The
Taming of the Shrew".
The battle is between Kate,
a h o t - t e m p e r e d and
strong-willed woman, and
Petruchio, a young man who
wants to marry her in order to
receive the large dowry her
father, Baptista, is offering.
Baptista, played by Steve
Sheetz, Pensacola, Fla., marries
off Kate, played by Susan Baer
of Lincoln against her will.
And Petruchio, played by Carl
Beck, Oklahoma City, Okla., is
left with the task of persuading
Kate to fah in love with him.
However, Kate does not
persuade easily.
Throughout this main plot
twists a subplot involving
Kate's beautiful and flirtatious
sister Bianca, played by
Stephanie Black, South Bend,
Ind.
Unlike Kate
She also is of marriageable
age, but unlike Kate, has many
suitors. The competition is so
tough, in fact, that her suitors
do rather peculiar things in
order to try to win her hand.
Director Tice Miller said he
made several changes from the
traditional Shakespearean
production. Miller said the play
would lx;gin with an induction
and end with an epilogue, a
device used during the
Elizabethan )eriod.
The induction is actually
another separate and shor t play
which introduces the main play
by making it seem like a dream
that the audience is seeing. The
play then is tied together with
a closing scene.
Miller also said the most
vague and archaic language was
((.'placed. And at the end of the
play Kate would not seem as
surpressed nor Petruchio as
domineering as in some
