I went to a performance THE TAMING OF THE SHREW which was held by GCA teachers and students on December 19 2008 at NFLS auditorium (3rd floor, over Cafeteria) 30 Beijing Dong Lu, Nanjing.
The show begins at 7PM. I went to the show with Candy. We attended at 6:20. I chose it because it was directed and performed by GCA student. THE TAMING OF THE SHREW is also a famous play which was written by Shakespeare.
The beautiful and gentle Bianca has no shortage of admirers (Lucentio, Gremio and Hortensio) but her father insists that she will not marry until her shrewish sister, Katharina, is betrothed. Bianca's suitors persuade fortune-seeker Petruchio to court her. The suitors pay for any costs involved and there is also the goal of Katharina's dowry. Petruchio marries Katharina and he carries Katharina off to his country house with his servant Grumio. Petruchio intends to browbeat Katharina into submission and he denies her food, sleep and her new clothes, whilst continuously singing her praises. Katharina is tamed. They return to Padua where Lucentio has won Bianca. At a banquet they wager on who has the most obedient wife. Each wife is issued with commands but only Katharina obeys and promptly lectures everyone on the importance of wifely submission.
I not only watched the show,but also made one stage property for the show. So, I wanted to see this performance which was all made by GCA students.The Taming of the Shrew is an early comedy byW illiam Shakespeare believed to have been written between 1590 and 1594 . The play begins with a framing device, often referred to as the Induction, in which a drunken tinker named Sly is tricked into thinking he is a nobleman by a mischievous Lord.I like the show because all performers acted very well. The clothes and the setting were beautiful. It was really very interesting. Some actins made audience laugh. The performers spoke very fluent English.
