  public. This year the Free For All moves to STC's new state-of-the-art

“Smashing … a chic, funny
    and marvelously acted modern-dress production.”

    The Washington Post

“A fun, frivolous and happy parody … the
    cast in this wonderful, zany world is superb.”

  
Metro Weekly
"With The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare gives us the improbable
  courtship of the fiery-tongued Katherine by the arrogant Petruchio. But unlike
  Shakespeare’s other romantic comedies, the play does not stop with the
  wedding. Shakespeare considers the institution of marriage, the rifts between
  men and women, and the rough journey toward love. One of Shakespeare’s
  earliest and most popular comedies, The Taming of the Shrew bursts
  with disguise, deception and devilment."

Enjoy,
George
