A lively 1999 update of The Taming of
the Shrew set in an American high school.
Girls will already know and love it; boys find it ‘cool and
funny’. Ideal for 13 – 16 year
olds. Unit includes a section on adapting the
play, and questions comparing an earlier version of the screenplay
(accessible online) with the final film. |
