  The Incomparable Mothership March 20, 2021 Shakespeare Club: “Taming of the Shrew”

  558 A Product of Its Time

  Jason Snell with Philip Michaels, Shelly Brisbin, Moisés Chiullán and David J. Loehr

  Shakespeare Club returns! “The Taming of the Shrew” is a Shakespeare play that’s crying out to be adapted for modern audiences, which is why it keeps being adapted—with varying degrees of success. We discuss the play, the unpleasant Franco Zeffirelli 1967 film starring Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, the film and TV versions of Cole Porter’s “Kiss Me, Kate,” the teen rom-com “10 Things I Hate About You,” and even the 1980s TV adaptation on “Moonlighting,” which might be the best of the bunch? What we’re saying, Shakespeare, is that we’ve got some notes.
