This comic confrontation between the sexes is one of the most frequently-staged Shakespeare plays. Its sparkling wit and rich characterizations are matched with an outstanding cast. John Cleese, of Monty Python and Fawlty Towers, gives an outstanding portrayal of Petruchio that has won unanimous critical acclaim, praised as "an object lesson in serving Shakespeare to a present-day audience."
