The Taming of the Shew features one of Shakespeare's spiciest relationships -- the forever-dueling Katherine and Petruchio.  HID's production, set in the always tumultuous holiday season, highlighted the importance of family bonds and the complex and contradictory natures of those bonds.  Staged in the round at the now-closed 133rd St Arts Center, this production was fast, furious and funny -- even drawing the audience into the action at several moments.
