Atlanta Shakespeare Company presents The Taming of the Shrew

Thu., Aug. 6 - Sat., Sep. 5
CRITIC’S PICK:
August Threepeat: Comedy of Errors, Taming of the Shrew & Twelfth Night in Repertory, Shakespeare Tavern — Three Shakespearean comedies from the past year are being staged again at the Tavern during the month of August. The Comedy of Errors, directed by Adam King, will have performances on August 6, 9, 15, 21, 27, 30 and Sep. 5. It alternates with Richard Frawley's The Taming of the Shrew on Aug. 7, 13, 16, 22, 28 and Sep. 3. Twelfth Night, under the direction of Mary Ruth Ralston, will roll out on Aug. 8, 14, 20, 23, 29 and Sep. 4. The Bard’s comedies tend to have several elements in common: gender disguises, mistaken identities, avoidance of reality, rampant wooing accompanied by awkward love entanglements and of course, witty dialogue. Much hilarity is guaranteed. — Kevin C. Madigan
