The adaptation, by Mike Wamser and Casey Kringlen, is an edited but essentially faithful production of the play, minus the Christopher Sly framing device. Kringlen, who also directs, conceives the play as a comic romp in the style of I Love Lucy. As both Lucy and Shrew are highly physical farces which send up masculine/feminine conventions, this seems a strong, though not surprising, choice. Where Kringlen gets transgressive is in the gender-bending casting of the roles.
