by William Shakespeare
Directed by Jean-Pierre Voos
Starring Terri Brabon as Katherine Chris Kellett as Petruccio

THE TAMING OF THE SHREW
May 8 - May 18

Baptista has two daughters. The younger, Bianca, enjoys the adoration of several persistent admirers while the elder,Katherine, would sooner go three rounds in the ring with a man than ever be pursued by one. When Baptista declares that he will not permit his younger daughter to marry until Katherine has first found a husband, Bianca’s suitors employ a wealthy playboy, Petruccio , to woo the wayward Katherine. Her impossible nature is just the sort of challenge his ego is looking for.

THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES JUST GOT HOTTER !

Performed in-the-round at beautiful Panorama House, perched near the summit of Castle Hill, Tropic Line presents Shakespeare’s romantic comedy as you’ve never seen it before. Townsville’s finest young talent will sing and dance their way through this unique interpretation that is not to be missed.

Forget Romeo and Juliet ! Shakespeare’s hottest lovers are ready to raise some hell...!

Once again, Tropic Line presents Shakespeare in a spectacular setting. Eat, drink and be massively entertained - just don't miss it! As with our hugely successful Merchant of Venice, last year, there will be a limited number of tables close to the stage available for dinner in the interval.
