The Taming of the Shrew - Shakespeare Retold
Katherine (Shirley Henderson) is a successful politician with a chance at the party leadership, but her abrasive temper has left her a 38-year-old singleton and everyone from the party chairman to her popular sister wants to see her get married. A rip-roaring modern take on Shakespeare's witty comedy which also stars Rufus Sewell as the eccentric suitor, Petruchio, and Twiggy as Katherine's mum.
