THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
Jean-Christophe Maillot
Rather than turn The Taming of the Shrew into a macho how-to manual for ‘taming’ shrewish women, the idea was to stage the encounter between two powerful personalities who see themselves reflected in one another. Their antisocial and unpalatable characters stem primarily from their instinct for solitude, an imposed loneliness inflicted on them by personalities seemingly incompatible with the norm. This character trait explains the excesses that have led them to where they now find themselves, with no man or woman capable of matching their larger-than-life nature.
