Advice To The Players, Sandwich’s own Shakespeare Company, is starting their 20th Anniversary season with one of the Bard’s famous comedies, The Taming of the Shrew, directed by ATTP founder Caroline Nesbitt, and presented by an all-star ATTP cast, including Carsey Walker, Jr., Kimberly Miller, Rebecca Mansfield, Dennis Sullivan, Frederick Bickford, Luke Haskell, Corey Trask, Ellie Bartz, Andrew Burke, and Vicky Dworkin, along with Amelia Nudd-Homeyer, Kat Sugar, CJ Dall, Andrew Sugar, and Ginger Priestman. This production is sponsored by Meredith Village Savings Bank. A play within a play, The Taming of the Shrew tells the story of a Lord’s trick on a local drunkard, in which he convinces the drunk that he is, in fact, a lord and has his servants put on a play to entertain him. The play they perform is the main story of The Taming of the Shrew – where an Italian noble, out of their wits with their eldest daughter Kate, a mean-spirited and independent woman, decrees that Kate must marry before her sweet, gentle, and beautiful younger sister Bianca can. Bianca’s suitors, of which there are many, despair; but it is her suitor Hortensio who comes up with the scheme to marry Kate off to his strong-willed and determined friend Petruchio. Petruchio is enticed by Kate’s dowry, and decides to accept the challenge of ‘taming her’. Meanwhile, a young student named Lucentio has also fallen in love with Bianca and secretly woos her while the others are distracted with Kate and Petruchio’s tumultuous courtship – making The Taming of the Shrew a hilarious comedy from start to finish. Performances will be at the Sandwich Town Hall Theater, March 15th, 16th, and 23rd
at 7:30 pm and March 17th & 24th at 2 pm. Tickets are available online at advicetotheplayers.org or by calling 603-284-7115. Comments are closed.
