Full Circle Theatre proudly presents

The Taming of the Shrew

by William Shakespeare

Full Circle Theatre began its journey with The Taming of the Shrew in 2011. Fifteen years later, we return to Padua to reimagine Shakespeare’s fiery comedy of love and power.

This production keeps the original text intact, while flipping the genders and placing the story in a High Fae Court inspired by the worlds of fantasy romance. Here, a brooding faerie prince meets his match in a bold human knight, and their battle of wits ignites a dangerous game of desire, class, and control.

Directed by Cayley Wreggitt, with design by Josie Kaip (set), Rebecca Orion (lighting), Ruby Swan (sound), and Tawni Marie Evans (costumes), this Shrew blends the sharp wit of Shakespeare with the lush atmosphere of Romantasy. Expect glamour, sparks, and enemies-to-lovers tension. Because in this world, love is anything but tame.
