Newtowne Players Bring Shakespeare to HSMC
The Newtowne Players are bringing Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” to Historic St. Mary’s City from August 7 – 16.
In this William Shakespeare comedy, audiences are whisked away into a lively game of wit and romance as the fiercely independent Katherina meets her match in the determined Petruchio. Amidst a whirlwind of clever ploys, mistaken identities, and humorous twists, this classic play dives into themes of love and societal norms with both sharpness and charm.
