Experience Theatre Project Proudly Presents THE TAMING AND THE SHREW
By: A.A. Cristi May. 14, 2018
Experience Theatre Project, Beaverton's only resident professional theatre company, proudly presents its 3rd annual pay-what-you-will summer production of The Taming And The Shrew: A #TimesUp/#MeToo Adaptation of William Shakespeare's play. The play opens at 7pm on July 6, 2018 on the Beaverton Public Library south lawn, and will perform at the Library lawn on Saturday and Sunday, July 7-8 at 2pm, then again the following weekend, Friday, July 13 at 7pm, and Saturday-Sunday, July 14-15, at 2pm before embarking on an outdoor "wine tour" of Washington County wineries, concluding its tour in Yamhill County, at Stoller Vineyards, on August 12.
"It is a kind of history," says adaptor and director Sara Fay Goldman. "The adaptation also takes a political stance in relation to the Women's Movement, but I want to take back the funny. The plan is to keep the same ingredients, but update the recipe. At its premier, Shrew was probably more than funny - feminist social satire protected by a thin veil of patriarchy. Men in wigs, violence - hilarious. I am not here to fix the play - I am simply looking to embrace the current context and look it squarely in the eye and see if we can make it funny again."
