Taming of the Shrew

Murray Chase, who steered the rebuild of the Jervey Theatre, shares the director’s chair with Kelly Wynn Woodland for Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew at Venice Theatre, in the small black-box Pinkerton Theatre that came through Hurricane Ian mostly undamaged. The company describes the comedy as a battle of the sexes driven by trickery, scheming and slapstick. Chase has directed the play once before and Woodland twice. It belongs to the company’s 77th season.
