Kiss Me, Kate

Company:
Howard Panter for Trafalgar Theatre Productions in association with the Barbican
This musical farce whisks audiences into a world of backstage chaos and romantic entanglements as a theatre company attempts to put on a production of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
The battle of the sexes takes centre-stage as former spouses feud, only to find the off-stage antics rival the drama on-stage.
Throw in a number of cases of mistaken identity, confused love, gangsters and a spectacular tap routine and you get Kiss Me, Kate.
