'The Taming Of The Shrew'
venue
Markeaton Park
Dates
10th - 14th July 2007
Director
Laurence Conneely-Byrne
The sunny surroundings of Markeaton Park provided a fine open air setting for our 2007 production of 'The Taming Of The Shrew'. Director Laurence Conneeley-Byrne brought comic flair to this timeless battle of the sexes in a lively and vivid production with more than a touch of Monty Python-esque surreal humour.
The show was popular with audiences and critics alike and proved a great success - as did our very own Shakespeare themed pop-up cafe and bar which accompanied it!
Special mention must be made of Caroline Reader in the role of Katherine who went to heroic lengths in pursuit of her art by agreeing to be dropped into a pond during every performance!
