My overall impression

Want your BDSM and your Shakespeare friends to become friends of each other and to have a delightful time in the process? Take them to Fifty Shades of Shrew, a show that has something for everyone. With dazzling skill, the women of Broads’ Word Theatre show how the universal interplay of dominance and submission in human relationships is illuminated by a BDSM interpretation of The Taming of the Shrew. The production, adhering to Shakespeare’s own words, shows that the Bard had a deep insight into dominance and submission. And Broads’ Word has the theatrical expertise and imagination to bring the Bard and BDSM together in a way that offer insight to all theatergoers, with a lot of laughs along the way.
