Die Zähmung der Widerspenstigen – oder: DIE WIDERSPENSTIGE (Programme 2019)

Clever, eloquent, impassioned. Sounds like a fantastic woman.

In Shakespeare's world of patriarchal male fantasies, however, these attributes make edgy Katharina a ‘leftover’ on the marriage market. Simply too exhausting. With sporting ambition, a strategy to tame the rebellious female is concocted, ultimately bringing this defiant spirit to her senses and helping her find the missing lid to her pot. Lo and behold: the resistance breaks, the affection comes – so far so good? So much for the original. And today? We are curious to see what the bremer shakespeare company has in store for us.
