The Taming of the Shrew - July 2006

 

 

On Sunday July 23rd the Oddsocks Theatre Company returned to the arboretum to treat us to a performance of Shakespeare’s ‘The Taming of the Shrew’

The weather was perfect – warm and sunny and our biggest crowd ever quickly responded to the talented and enthusiastic performance. The dialogue was witty, the adlibs appropriate and the audience participated accordingly.

All in all, a superb evening.
