THE Taming of the Shrew will be running at the Bristol Hippodrome next week.

The internationally acclaimed and award-winning company will perform six shows of John Cranko’s version of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.

Cranko’s adaptation is a masterful choreographic depiction of the perpetually battling lovers, Petruchio and Katherina, and of Petruchio’s determination to bend the feisty, independent-spirited and tempestuous Katherina to his will.

Incorporating a stunning array of dramatic moods, virtuoso dancing and vivid characterisation, The Taming of the Shrew conveys like no other ballet Shakespeare’s wit, brilliant comic invention and sharp understanding of human character.

  • The shows will be on at a number of different times from Wednesday, June 29 – Saturday, July 2. Tickets cost £16.40, for more information and to book visit atgtickets.com/venues/bristol-hippodrome.
