The Taming of the Shrew

The Taming of the Shrew was a play by William Shakespeare.

While Shakespeare was working on the play, he was visited by the Fourth Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith who "turned up from nowhere and helped" him write it. Sarah was not a fan, calling it "chauvinistic poppycock", though she did tell Shakespeare of a very strong woman called Lady Macbeth.

In the 21st century, a film adaptation entitled Shakespeare's Shrew was set to become "one of the summer's big premieres". Ty Baxter played Petruchio and the film's tagline was "Can he tame her?". In an interview with Liz Golding, Baxter said the battle of the sexes was "an eternal theme" and that Shakespeare had "a lot to say about how men and women relate".
