Quest Courses – Spring 2023 / Performing Arts / SHAKESPEARE
Coordinators: Roy Clary, Jim Brook, Ellie Schaffer
The class will read aloud and discuss the Taming of the Shrew. Despite the fact that attitudes toward women and gender roles have changed considerably since the play was written in the early-1590s, it remains one of the author’s most popular comedies.
A key reason for its continuing popularity is the relationship between Petruchio and Katherina. The play asks if they are engaged in a never-ending battle of the sexes, or will they find mutual respect and love for each other?
The Folger Library Edition is the preferred text.
