"The Taming of the Shrew" by William Shakespeare presented by the Seniors is a comedic play that explores themes of Male and Female power dynamics, and love. Set in Padua, Italy, the story follows the courtship of the fiery and independent Katherine, known as the "shrew," and the clever Petruchio, who endeavors to "tame" her. Through a series of witty exchanges, disguises, and schemes, Petruchio gradually subdues Katherine. Meanwhile, a subplot unfolds with the courtship of Bianca, Katherine's younger sister, by several suitors.
