About this audiobook
The courtship of the fiery Katherina by the fortune-hunting Petruchio is a boisterous clash of wills involving starvation, sleep deprivation, and psychological games. Beneath the slapstick and the farce, the play raises difficult questions about the nature of obedience and the performance of gender roles in marriage. It is a raw, energetic comedy that depicts the domestic sphere as a battlefield where power is constantly negotiated. The work remains a provocative exploration of the social contracts that bind men and women.
