The Taming of the Shrew (Arkangel Complete Shakespeare Series)

In this comedy, a rich Paduan gentleman refuses to marry off his daughter Bianca until a husband is found for her older sister, Kate. This poses problems. While Kate is beautiful and rich she is also an insufferable shrew. But this doesn't scare Petruchio who vows to win Kate--on terms that will change her ill-tempered ways for good. Frances Barber plays Kate and Roger Allam, her tormentor and husband-to-be. Unabridged.
