The Taming of the Shrew performed by the Adlib Theatre team.

2.30pm afternoon performance on Sunday 16th June: (Gates open at 1.30pm)

Cambio is Lucentio; Lucentio is Tranio and Litio is Hortensio….confused yet? The merchant is – he’s apparently now Vincentio until Vincentio arrives! Why is Katherine so quick-tempered? Why is Petruchio really looking for a wife? Is Bianca actually the sweet, mild daughter her mother thinks she is? Do any of the couples – or would-be couples – actually share a genuine love for each other? Indeed, is marriage about love…or money?! So many comedic plots and subplots you won’t believe it!

But don’t worry, all the answers are to be found in the new Ad Lib Theatre open air production of William Shakespeare’s famous comedy The Taming of the Shrew at Northwood House on Friday 14th, Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th June.

With the two previous Ad Lib Theatre Shakespeare productions of Hamlet and The Comedy of Errors selling out to full capacity in previous summers here at the venue, make sure you get your tickets soon for this year’s main event before they sell out again. This June’s production may just prove to be the best one yet!

Please purchase tickets in advance online here (Sorry..no ticket sales on the day)

The performances will go ahead outdoors in most conditions, so come prepared for the English weather, but if rain or high winds prevail, we will move the performance(s) inside of Northwood House…so the show will go on what ever the weather!
