Experience the brilliance of David Garrick’s celebrated 18th-century adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic, Taming of the Shrew. With a masterful touch, Garrick condenses the original five acts into a captivating three, omitting much of the subplot involving Bianca and her suitors. While some critics, like Edgar Allan Poe, dismissed Garrick’s version as a chaotic mishmash of nonsense, it became the preferred rendition for theatrical companies well into the 19th century. Join us as we explore this intriguing interpretation that continues to spark debate and delight audiences. - Summary by Kelly Taylor
