Shakespeare comes to Bundelkhand through this ageless comedy. Baptista Minola has two daughters – one a paragon of virtue, the other given to biting off a man’s head at the slightest provocation. Can this ‘shrew’ find a man equal to the challenge of being her husband? Once she is out of the way, will her younger sister be able to marry the man she loves? We invite you to be part of the first Shakespearean play in Naatak’s 20-year history!
