It is amazing how perfectly this production works. I love how it is presented in the form of commedia dell'arte. Each role fits as one of the commedia stock characters and the director makes great use of the lazzi of the comic business. It is very cleverly done. The acting is great as well. I think Petruchio and Kate made it seem natural that they fell in love, when it seems kind of sudden when you just read the play. Kate handled the hand beneath the foot scene very well (the words in that scene usually make me cringe!)It is a nearly flawless production that is a great way to show just how much fun Shakespeare really can be!
