Shakespeare - the Animated Tales: The Taming of the Shrew

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Shakespeare's witty battle of the sexes is given a fresh airing in puppet animation. The unlikely bonding of a headstrong Kate and domineering Petruchio is only one aspect of a play about change and the magical transformations that theatre can produce.
Screenplay Leon Garfield ; Director Aida Ziablikova
Series editors Martin Lamb and Penelope Middelboe
