About

Edward Hall’s internationally-renowned Propeller brings two of Shakespeare’s finest comedies to the Rose. One thing is certain: nobody does Shakespeare like Propeller.

In The Taming Of The Shrew, two disguised, competing suitors clamour for the hand of beautiful Bianca whilst gold digging Petruchio agrees to wed her viciously ill-tempered sister Kate sight-unseen.

Reviews

There’s a surreal and farcical griminess to this process, and the narrative wheels are expertly oiled in the playing.

The Stage

I loved The Shrew so much on Friday I sort of didn't want it to end.
