Title: Shakespeare meets commedia dell'arte
Review: This is quite possibly the best adaptation of "Shrew" ever performed. It's faithful to the original material, but performed in an energetic, comedic style that has to be seen. So many productions of even Shakespeare's comedies are performed in a stiff, boring style because He is The Bard, after all - they're forgetting that he was a hack writer who just wanted to make a living writing plays.This doesn't completely fix the misogynistic, sexist source material (hey, Shakespeare lived during the Sixteenth Century - you want him marching for sufferage or something?), but it manages to suppress it to the point that it isn't nearly as bad.If you need to own a copy of the Shrew, this is the one.
