*Synopsis*

*Kiss Me Kate* tells the tale of two once-married, now-divorced musical
theater actors, egotistical leading man Fred Graham and Lilli Vanessi, who
are forced to perform opposite each other in a Broadway-bound musical
version of William Shakespeare’s *The Taming of the Shrew*, in the roles of
Petruchio and Katharina.

As the battle of the sexes continues onstage and off, it becomes clear that
as much as this couple profess to hate each other, they are also still in
love. Throw a number of cases of mistaken identity, some gangsters, and
additional romantic entanglements into the mix.
