Description "The Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare's rollicking Elizabethan celebration of man's mastery over women, has had a rough ride in these enlightened times. A play which extolls the virtues of a woman's role in marriage as a dutiful servant, who is dominated by a petulant male dictatorship, hardly sits comfortably with the modern emancipated female".
