Lakewood's production of The Taming of the Shrew contains fresh perspectives on the classic ‘battle of the sexes’ narrative, exploring themes of pride, gendered social restrictions, and female agency. The production offers a thought-provoking examination of romance and identity that challenges traditional interpretations of the show while maintaining the uncomfortable tension between love and abuse that has made the play an enduring classic.
