Taming of the Shrew

This weekend we had tickets to go see the production of Taming of the Shrew which was being performed inside a barn on a working farm near us.

We went on the Family Day and had a picnic and tour round the farm in the back of a cattle truck before the performance at 4:30pm.

There was a lot of discussion beforehand about rodent shrews vs. bad-tempered women shrews, and Tryfan was especially interested to find out what/ who the shrew was. The lady who played Katharina had terrific facial expressions and she was really fun to watch.

We had good seats in the back row (only 4 rows) and although the play was a bit confusing and long-winded to start with, it soon became entertaining for all.
