Brampton’s Own Shakespeare Show returns for its third season, bringing a gender-bending spin on William Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew to three outdoor stages around the city this summer. Grab a chair and a blanket, pack a picnic, and pick the park nearest you to settle in and enjoy this comedic battle of the sexes.
In this version, Noblewoman Bethany has two sons, Nathaniel and Benjamin; one nasty and one sweet. Nasty Nathaniel is married off to Penelope, a clever woman who uses some questionable tactics to tame this feisty man into becoming the “perfect husband.” Join us in the park for a lot of laughs and a tongue-in-cheek commentary on gender norms.
