Rain or Shine invite you to an evening of
rip-roaring entertainment with the hilarious comedy-classic...

in castles, stately homes and gardens throughout the U.K.  
The summer was an unmitigated success,
and has been described by many of our regulars
as the best production to date!

Rain or Shine invite you to an evening of rip-roaring entertainment with William Shakespeare's hilarious comedy-classic The Taming of the Shrew. When a number of suitors seek the hand in marriage of Bianca Minola, they discover her father Baptista will not allow her to wed until her spirited older sister Katharina has been married first. Enter Petruchio, a self-confessed fortune hunter in search of a wife. His unconventional approach to the wooing process sets the scene for a witty, physical romp involving rich language, slapstick humour, cunning disguise, identity theft, sibling rivalry and a bizarre wedding day. One question raises itself - which one of the protagonists is really the Shrew, or is there more than one?
