The Taming of the Strigla
The Strigla returns
. Groovy!!
Take Away Theatre's sell-out, hilarious, bi-lingual
adaptation of Shakespeare's controversial comedy returns to Sidetrack
Studio 9.
Directed
by Nicholas Papademetriou, Take Away's production transports Shakespeare
to the reality and hilarity of Greek Australia in the late 1960s and today.
Come and see what happens when a group of cool dudes from the 'noughties'
come head to head with a 60's shrew and a 'manga'.
The 'manga' Greek, Petros, fresh off the boat
is after a rich bride with a hefty dowry. Katerina, the elder daughter
of the Milona family is still unmarried
at 26!!! Of course following
Greek tradition, her younger sister Vasiliki cannot get married before
her. But Katerina, who rejects her Greek heritage, won't go easily
she'll
kick and scream all the way. After all she's Australian and the product
of the women's liberation movement. When Katerina is set up with Petros,
there are more moves than in World Championship Wrestling.
