RSC: The Taming of the Shrew at The Lowry, Salford 3 October 2019 Tickets from £18.50 — Book now

Performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company, The Taming of the Shrew comes to The Lowry this autumn.

Baptista Minola is seeking to sell off her son Katherine to the highest bidder. Cue an explosive battle of the sexes in this electrically charged love story.

Justin Audibert twists Shakespeare’s dynamic comedy of gender and materialism to offer a fresh perspective on its portrayal of hierarchy and power.

Direct from the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, we’re thrilled that the Royal Shakespeare Company return to Salford with an exciting programme of performances.
