FINAL WEEKEND
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
Presented by Circle Players
Poor Kate (Patti Murtha of South River) is too outspoken to attract a man. Poor Bianca (Jennifer Wewers-Sharp of Glen Gardner) can't get married until after her shrewish sister Kate finds a husband. Poor Baptista (Catherine Rowe of Somerset) has to provide for two daughters, and she apparently needs a husband of her own. Neighbor Gremio (Jon Heron of New Brunswick) is worthy, but a bit long in the tooth for his desired object, Bianca. Hortensio (Al Contursi of Middlesex) also wants Bianca, even though he's being stalked by a wealthy widow (Carla Phoenix of North Plainfield). Lucentio (Greg DePetro of East Brunswick) was sent to town to attend university, accompanied by his servants Tranio (David Neal of Fanwood) and Biondella (Ana Kalet of Franklin Park). Now Lucentio, too, has fallen under Bianca's spell.
Then the answer to everyone's prayer arrives in the person of loose cannon Petruchio (Paul Salvatoriello of South Orange). He's willing to brave a hundred shrews for a fat dowry, and his trusty servant Grumio (Scott Shappell of Parsippany) will go along with whatever scheme he hatches to achieve his object. Soon the air is thick with plots and masquerades, including one that involves a Pedant (Martin Brilliant of Holmdell) impersonating Lucentio's father Vincentio. Then the real Vincentio (Joseph Porter of Piscataway) arrives on the scene, plots unravel and knots get tied, but who tames who in the end?
