The Taming of the Shrew
In 2026 Shakespeare at Traquair are performing the comical and exciting production The Taming of the Shrew, Directed by Kath Mansfield.
The play shows off Shakespeare’s remarkable talent of portraying strong-willed characters carried along by an entourage of tomfoolery, reverse psychology and getting ones just deserts. Set in Padua, the play follows the courtship of the strong-willed and outspoken Katherina, known as Kate, and the assertive Petruchio who vows to woo her with ‘spirit’, stating that if she rails, he will tell her she sings as sweetly as a nightingale!
This promenade performance walks the audience from scene to scene and takes place regardless of the weather, so please come prepared with sun hat and umbrella.
Available on Saturday evenings only, are pre-performance suppers at the Traquair Walled Garden Café, book early by phoning 01896 830777 to reserve a table.
