Taming Of The Shrew

shrew2008RSC.jpg

I saw the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of The Taming Of The Shrew in Stratford tonight.

The RSC is in a bit of a transition right now, as its primary theater complex is being overhauled and plays are being staged in a temporary construct called the Courtyard Theatre, which mirrors the layout of the main stage.

The play itself is uncomfortable to watch, as it clearly ends on a misogynistic note, at least by contemporary standards. The acting and production values were fine, but the play itself seemed lacking in characters one could root for.
