WHAT if WORKS

In the age of the #metoo movement, is it still possible to produce some of Shakespeare's plays which are, by most standards, and certainly those of the Elizabethans, unequivocally chauvinistic at best? The best way to find out is to take the plays to young people and open it up for discussion. By presenting “The Taming of The Shrew” in the style of commedia What if Works, in association with GableStage uses Shakespeare’s play to debate such issues as the objectification of women, finding new ways to start very important conversations amongst young audiences.
