Excerpts from "The Taming of the Shrew"

In the reading excerpts from the first two acts of William Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew," the audience is introduced to Petruchio and his love for money. This sets the stage for how far he would go to woo a willful woman. In the excerpts intended for group performances, the focus is still on Petruchio and Katherine, but more acts and characters are covered to show the development of their conflict and relationship.
