Rough Magic Theatre Company
presents the National Tour of
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
by William Shakespeare
Rough Magic presents their hugely entertaining and successful production of Shakespeares classic The Taming of the Shrew. Following nine nominations for the 2007 Irish Times Theatre Awards, The Taming of the Shrew, won in four categories - Best Actor: Owen Roe; Best Designer, Costume: Monica Frawley; Best Designer, Lighting: Rupert Murray; Best Production: The Company.
Re-imagining this infamous tale in wheeler-dealer rural Ireland, Rough Magic’s Shrew is a contemporary take on a play that hinges on fraudulence, farce and bad behaviour.
With an A-list ensemble including Pauline McLynn and Owen Roe as the sparring protagonists, The Taming of the Shrew features live tango, loose morals and gombeen chic.
