Los Angeles, CA: Broads’ Word Theatre is proud to announce the opening of its premiere production, Fifty Shades of Shrew, an all-female production of William Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, directed and adapted by Danielle Ozymandias.

“Place your hands below your husband’s foot?” Surely a controversial statement in Shakespeare’s time, in today’s world it is hopelessly misogynistic. Unless… What if Katharina is a submissive in search of her Dominant? What if Bianca is a Dom auditioning subs? With the success of Fifty Shades of Grey, BDSM is front and center in the public consciousness, but is still largely misunderstood. Broads’ Word Theatre sets Shakespeare’s outdated Taming of the Shrew in a BDSM dungeon, where the all-female cast investigates the dynamics of power and submission with a modern fearlessness.
