Review of the third RSC play, THE TAMING OF THE SHREW (Linked). The RSC have reversed the roles. This is England, 1591 and it’s a matriarchy. All the male roles are now female, and Katherine and Bianca (Bianco) are now men. It’s not “gender blind” but a rethink of the play in a world where women had all the power. And it’s absolutely wonderful! We loved it.
