[NEohioPAL] Review of The Taming of the Shrew at Great Lakes Theatre

[Laura Kennelly]

Director Sara Bruner’s *The Taming of the Shrew* at the Hanna Theatre
brings a welcome fresh look, lots of insight, and — most importantly —
plenty of laughs (it is, after all, a comedy). This Great Lakes production
of the Shakespeare classic also boasts a dynamic cast, one that speaks
clearly enough for jokes to be funny and moves quickly enough to keep us
involved.[.....]

Rather than a battle between the sexes (or even stereotypes) as some
directors would show it, Bruner shows us a battle between a very angry,
rude woman (Katherine) who resents her situation and a self-confident
adventurer (Petruchio) who wants to better his lot in life by marrying
“up.” Bianca’s suitor, the dashing Hortensio (Eric Damon Smith) tells
Petruchio the situation, but warns him Katherine is “difficult.” No
problem, Petruchio says.
