The Royal Shakespeare Company present John Fletcher's The Tamer Tamed in a seven week repertory season along with Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.

In John Fletcher's hilarious 'sequel' to The Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio gets married for a second time, and is tamed by his second wife, Maria.

Written 20 years after Shakespeare's original, but within his lifetime, John Fletcher's The Tamer Tamed was written as a calling card to Shakespeare in the hope of prompting future creative collaborations.

"A truimph... Riotously funny" The Daily Telegraph
