      Bookmark Notes:

      When the men had their silly, infuriating contest over who had the most obedient wife, Bianca rebelled. For once, she raised her voice and resisted because she was not something to be admired and passed off and then ignored. She was more than gentleness. And she would not be like Katherine. Her head reeled, her heart hurt. Katherine was gone, or as good as, Katherine was broken and all her dreams were dust. There was no love in this, there was no happy future, there was no joy to be remembered in their autumn years. There was only pain and misery and stupid, stupid men who spoke over and looked past her.

      Let others hear a message of obedience in Katherine’s speech. Let others hear an admirable lecture on the wifely dues. Bianca looks in her sister’s dull, hopeless eyes and hears her talk of men and women and power and places and shivers run down her bones as she hears something different.

      Don’t bother, Bianca hears, and she knows her dragon has been slain.

    Summary

    A few years ago, the RSC did a completely gender-swapped version of the Taming of the Shrew, where Elizabethan England was a matriarchy. The men are expected to be sweet, demure, and pleasing to women, who are in turn soldiers, leaders, and powerful heads of the family. This story focuses on Cato (Katherine), his relationship with Petruchia (Petruchio) and what might have happened after the end of the play.

    Petruchia is gravely ill. She wants her husband. But her husband left her years ago, and rightly so, because she was entitled, arrogant and cruel. Maybe Cato won't arrive.

    Cato, shrewish, independant, fierce, unlikeable, ran from the marriage that was supposed to tame him. Now he's running his own tavern, and has a life, and friends, and is finally at peace. And yet he still loves his wife, however cruel she may have been. And when he discovers that she is ill, and demanding to see him, he is faced with a choice. Has she really changed? And does he have it within himself to forgive her?
