Re-imagining Shakespeare’s most sparkling and controversial comedy in wheeler-dealer rural Ireland, Rough Magic’s Shrew is a contemporary take on a play that hinges on fraudulence, farce and bad behaviour.
With an A-list ensemble including Pauline McLynn and Owen Roe as the sparring protagonists, The Taming of the Shrew features live tango, loose morals and gombeen chic.
 
Winner of 4 Irish Times Theatre Awards: Best Production, Best Actor (Owen Roe), Best Costume Designer (Monica Frawley), Best Lighting Designer (Rupert Murray).
