Negative Positive
Title: Dull and pedestrian
Review: Alas, John Cleese, the star of this show, misses the mark here, and Sarah Badel, as Katherine, is not only too old for the part but plays her less as a shrew than an alternately abused or abusive mental patient. Perhaps it's her "advanced" age, but I'd never imagined Kate crying, and this mature woman in tears does not advance the comedy. In my opinion, the best Shrew out there is the 1976 TV version, still available on Amazon, starring Marc Singer of "Beastmaster" fame. It's athletic, bawdy, energetic -- and funny!
