Taming Of The Shrew, The
William Shakespeare
The Taming
by Lauren Gunderson
Synopsis
Tweetering, panda shrews, and undying giddiness for James Madison – what else could you expect to find at a Miss America pageant?
In this hilarious, raucous, all-female “power-play” inspired by Shakespeare‘s Shrew , contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions.
All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator‘s aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause.
Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip.
Here‘s lookin‘ at you, America.
NOTE: This is the 3rd play in the Shakespeare Cycle, a series of contemporary comedies based on Shakespeare's plays.
