Shrew is one of Shakespeare’s most delightfully boisterous romantic comedies. Petruchio, who is determined “to wive it wealthily in Padua,” cleverly obtains the hand of feisty Kate who has previously refused to marry. He then sets out to tame his new bride.

Miles Potter places this merry battle of the sexes in the unruly American Wild West, adopting the style of the spaghetti western.
