My overall impression

What a fun translation of Shakespeare! Competent actors, exorbitant costumes, and just the right amount of bawdy! Of particular note in this all female cast (a fun twist on Shakespeare for sure) were Tara Donovan as the “proper lady Bianca”, dressed in white throughout, who we see come out of her shell in a classic role-reversal (emphasis on "reversal"0. Also, Sylvia Loehndorf as Grumio almost stole the show in a number of scenes with very few lines but spot-on Shakespearean interpretation of character.
