'The Taming Of The Shrew' stars Twiggy, Stephen Tompkinson, Jamie Murray and Rufus Sewell and is adapted by Sally Wainwright. The only problem is, her awful temper has left her a 38 year old singleton, and everyone, from her party chairman to her sister, wants her to get married.

About this product

Product Information

Four features. These adaptations inspired from the original plays bring Shakespeare's stories to the modern day audience. In 'Much Ado About Nothing', Beatrice and Benedick are two news presenters and ex-lovers who are reunited to present the same regional news programme. The friction in their relationship is almost palpable. Also includes 'Macbeth', 'The Taming Of The Shrew' and 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.

  • Shakespeare is fun.

    Previously bought and lost this collection. Enjoyed them when originally broadcast. They are a great introduction to Shakespeare's plays, made accessible by the modern setting. Some purists might disagree with that point but I think that anything that shows how enjoyable and relevant Shake4speare's plays are still today is worthwhile.
