His timeless view of men and women provide the ingredients for one of Shakespeare's most provocative plays. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMisogyny is alive and well in Shakespeare and takes on a particularly vicious aspect in The Taming of the Shrew. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the words of director Josie Rourke: \"I think this play has many fascinating things to say about relationships, about control, about marriage, about gender. However, because of when it was written, The Taming of the Shrew is a play in which a series of unacceptably repressive acts are committed against a woman.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taming of the Shrew strolls into some pretty dark forests, morally and spiritually, although the crookedness of the universe is righted gloriously in the end. The result is a marvelous mixture, all touched by Shakespeare's inimitable vision of the war between the sexes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (1564-1616) was an English playwright poet, and actor, regarded as the world's pre-eminent dramatist, and the greatest writer in the English language. Author of such timeless works as Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Hamlet and King Lear, he is often called the \"Bard of Avon,\" England's national poet.","brand":"Newingtons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164227223792,"sku":"2940151050081","price":3.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151050081_p0.jpg?v=1764009403","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151050081","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
