Shakespeare in the Squares present The Taming of the Shrew

Shakespeare in the Squares is to return to London’s picturesque garden squares and green spaces this summer with The Taming of the Shrew…

Shakespeare’s comedy battle of wits, wills and wild romance with toe-tapping pop classics comes to the capital this summer.

Shakespeare in the Squares is a not-for-profit touring theatre company that stages a new Shakespeare play across London for one night in each venue every summer. This year’s programme features 33 performances across 27 beautiful London locations. The tour kicks off on Wednesday 4th June in Leinster Square, W2, and concludes over five weeks later in The Actors’ Church Garden, WC2.

The production will be directed by Toby Gordon. Casting is due to be announced in May.

Shakespeare in the Squares is a cornerstone of London’s summer cultural calendar, renowned for tailoring each performance to the individual venue, providing the audience with a truly unique show every time. The team collaborates closely with the garden committees and other local organisations to foster an intimate experience for each London community. The company intends to introduce audiences to the stars of the future, with many going on to perform in mainstream companies. The company’s patron is Dame Judi Dench.

Founders Martin Neild and Sue Fletcher comment, “One of the great pleasures of Shakespeare is the way his work is always open to reinvention. We can’t wait to see Toby bring Padua to London’s gardens in his imaginative take on this popular play.”

Bring your picnic, wine, sunglasses and participatory spirit and join Shakespeare in the Squares this summer for this Shakespeare comedy featuring toe-tapping pop classics from the ‘50s and ‘60s.
