Howard Family Stage 

Shakespeare’s classic comedy, The Taming of the Shrew, features a complicated heroine. Kate Minola is at odds with her family and her community, and her relationship with Petruchio can inspire strong opinions when viewed through a modern-day lens. But is there more to Kate than meets the eye? What can – or should –  we make of her in 2019?

An on-stage panel digs into these questions, followed by an audience Q&A.

Dr. Patricia Badir (Professor, Dept of English, University of British Columbia)

Panelists:
