"...This rip-roaring take on William Shakespeare's ever-popular romantic comedy opens the 40th anniversary season at this incomparable outdoor venue with marvelous forward momentum."

"...While this particular venue may be difficult to get to, it's more than worth it. The location is beautiful, the people are friendly and the performance fantastic. On top of all that, I have to applaud them for taking one of the more problematic (and often critiqued) works of Shakespeare and figuring out how to tell it in a less disturbing way, and somehow tame "The Taming of the Shrew.""

"...To be sure, the Theatricum's version is a romp, but many of the jokes may stick in your craw."
