All-female Shakespeare troupe Woman's Will travels to Pleasanton for a suppertime performance of The Taming of the Shrew on Saturday, August 1, at 6:00 p.m. Pleasanton Civic Arts hosts the show at Centennial Park, 5353 Sunol Blvd., adjacent to the Pleasanton Senior Center.
Now in its 12th season, the much-acclaimed troupe performs William Shakespeare’s sassy play in which the untamed Kate meets the equally wild Petruchio. They fight their way to peace and perfect love in each other’s arms. This play is about great laughs, great love and two great hearts who meet their match.
The Taming of the Shrew is Artistic Director Erin Merritt's final production with the company before relocating outside the Bay Area. It features the return of El Beh, who played the title role in 2008's Good Person of Szechuan, as Petruchio and the Woman's Will debut of Kate Jopson as Kate. According to Merritt, the production is sexy and sassy enough for adults but lively and lovely enough for children.
Admission is free. Audiences are welcome to bring blankets, low lawn chairs and picnic suppers to the show.
