Taming of the Shrew - 3/5 - Definitely not one of my favourite Shakespeare plays. While this play does have some nice turns-of-phrase, I didn't find it overly funny, and if its lesson is that the way to tame a shrew is to isolate her from her loved ones, starve her into compliance, and act like a crazy asshole to her, it's a lesson better left alone. I probably won't be coming back to this one anytime soon.
