10 Things I Hate About Taming of the Shrew @Gillian_English @kingssalford @GMFringe 28-30 July 2019

            Sunday 28 July, Monday 29 July, Tuesday 30 July, 8pm, £7.
Kings Arms Studio 1, 11 Bloom Street Salford M3 6AN.
Let's go back the good old days, when we worried about Y2K, wore butterfly clips in our hair, and became total babes the minute we took off our glasses. And the even older days when we died of plague, wore massive wigs, and women weren't allowed on stage anyway. 
10 Things I Hate About Taming of the Shrew is a theatrical, comedic, listicle romp through the world of teenage Shakespeare film adaptations, and their lasting impact on a generation.
“One of the things that continues to bother me the most, are how Shakespeare’s characters are treated as though they’re accurate representations of real people. Lady MacBeth was not a real woman. Neither is Beatrice, Juliet, or Katherine; they are all fictious women, written by a man. And while Shakespeare may have been a master of word play, he was still a dude in the 1400s. When men insist on telling women’s stories for them, not only do they miss the point of telling a story, but they tell it wrong too.”

Gillian English has been writing, performing and touring feminist solo work for the last six years. Originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, now based in Hobart, Tasmania, she has been touring the world for the last two years. After spending the last six years focusing on comedy, Gillian suddenly remembered she had an MFA from LAMDA, and decided to put all that classical learning to work with her multi-award winning hit show “SHE WOLF”. Now she’s back again with “10 Things I Hate About Taming of the Shrew”
