Untaming
In our latest 'Write the Girl' play, Shakespeare's female characters re-tell their histories from their perspectives. As they re-claim their stolen/lost/broken voices, a group of 21st century students studying 'The Taming of the Shrew' protest about the injustice and abuse suffered not only by Katherine in this play, but by woman in all Shakespeare's plays studied so readily across the world today. In 'Untaming' the audience traverse many worlds; the old and the new; fiction and reality; questioning our understanding of what exactly should be taught in the modern classroom.
