- Reviews
- Christopher Hoile, reviewing the production for www.stage-door.com, wrote ‘There’s no point in beating around the sagebrush. "The Taming of the Shrew" that opened Stratford’s 51st season is one
of the worst productions of the play in the Festival’s history. The Wild West setting is not the problem...'.
