The Taming of the Shrew

Full Circle Theatre began with The Taming of the Shrew in 2011. Fifteen years later, we return to Padua to reimagine Shakespeare’s fiery comedy of love and power. This production keeps the original text but flips the genders and sets the story in a High Fae Court inspired by fantasy romance (‘romantasy’).

A brooding faerie prince and a bold human knight engage in a witty, dangerous game of desire, class, and control.

“This Shrew will be full of longing looks, fights that end mere breaths apart, and heaving chests as two people meet as equals.” — Cayley Wreggitt (Director)

Directed by Cayley Wreggitt in her Full Circle Theatre debut, this Shrew blends Shakespeare’s sharp wit with a lush romantasy atmosphere. Expect glamour, sparks, and tension — perfect for romantasy fans, romance skeptics, and anyone curious about desire and power on equal footing.
