If you're going to do Shakespeare, this is how to do it, with a bucket-load of fresh thinking and a stellar cast including Lisa Dillon and David Caves.
Taming of the Shrew, one of Shakespeare's most frustrating depictions of gender roles sees a strong-willed, shrill woman taken down a peg or two by an alpha-male. However, in Lucy Bailey's production for the RSC, this man is as gloriously unconventional as his leading lady.
The plays Lisa Dillon on form in the role she does best, annoying posh girl, and David Caves matches her squeaky, stubborn ways with swagger and insolence.
