Example sentences for “shrew”: Katherina Minola, an adult student at Padua University working to get her PhD in Gender Studies, has caught the eye of a “gentleman” (re: dudebro) of Verona. Can his masculine charms and overbearing personality make an honest woman of her and tame this SHREW? - From the company that brought you 2024’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona and 2025’s Julius Caesar (both 4½ STARS from the Winnipeg Free Press) comes a modern take on this oft-misunderstood Shakespearean comedy, The Taming of the Shrew!
Wonderfully done. The cast and crew did a fantastic job keeping to the themes and characterization of this classic comedy, while styling it with a modern setting. Kate and Petruchio have wonderful chemistry that keeps their back and forth VERY engaging. This would be an excellent way to get exposure to Shakespeare if you’re new to the bard!

Do not waste your money on this production. Terrible “acting”. Most of the actors mostly endlessly SHOUTED their lines as if they were competing with 747 jet engines — completely unnecessary in the little max 60 person Dalnavert Museum theatre. I love Shakespeare and I am up for the good, the bad and the mediocre at The Fringe but this production just offends the ear. Be warned.
I found that every actor was so talented, funny and energetic. My first Shakespeare play, wanted to see more. Great job!!
Hilarious and enthusiastic cast with excellent physical comedy! At times struggled to decide whether to lean into the problematic but comedic qualities of the play or to make a statement, but overall a really enjoyable watch!
Do not fear because it is shakespeare!! This group does a great job with making it make sense through body language and making it a hilarious adventure from start to finish!
Spunky, upbeat & quick paced!
Go see this!! I often find shakespearean language hard to follow but these performers were so funny and engaging I was locked in and laughing out loud from start to finish.
This show is a must see – a modern romp through a fantastic rendition of this comedy! Make sure you include this in your Fringe tour!
I wasn’t sure what to expect but this show did not disappoint. The presentation and comedic timing was outstanding. It has been awhile since I laughed that much!
I was not familiar with the story but the outline in the program was a great help. I would recommend this show with two thumbs up !!
This show was so funny and the performers are to thank!!! (As well as William Shakespeare, my fave indie artist 😂). The set design, costumes and the creative structure of the show were such a great highlight as well!! Standout performances were Hannah and Mia!! 🥹🫶🏻 But everyone in the cast did such a wonderful job. If you’ve always wanted to see a funny Shakespeare show, but you don’t know where to start, this show is perfect for you!! And Shakespeare lovers can appreciate the genius of how the edited script fit into a fringe time stamp!
Witty flow for this Shakespearean story. Though I’ve never understood shakespearean language the acting of cast interpreted the meaning.
First 2026 fringe Show. Loved it!
