- Summary
- This modern-dress production emphasised Padua's patriarchal society and Petruchio's cruelty towards Katherina. Once the house-lights went down, a drunk in the audience - later revealed to be Christopher Sly - started a commotion, then rampaged onto the stage and destroyed the picturesque set.
