There has been friction between husbands and wives for as long as there has been marriage, and there have been plays about marital strife as long as there have been plays. Our present play, one of Shakespeare’s relatively early comedies, is probably the greatest example of this theme of the long-suffering husband attempting to deal with an insufferable wife.

That’s The Taming of The Shrew on 2/17 on ZOOM. We will begin by watching scenes from the play on video, about 7:00pm, Japan time. Leave a reply below if you want an invitation to the Zoom meeting.

For more information about the play, go to the Files Page of this site and click on the file marked “Taming of The Shrew”. You can see the summary and some background information on the play.
