Description:
Romantic comedy exploring the complexities of male and female relationships.The Taming of the Shrew, where Katherine is one of Britain's youngest MPs, the original tough cookie - uncompromising, abrasive, ambitious, but scary and people don't 'get' her. The only way she's going to get ahead (even become Party leader) is by softening her image, play things more conventionally, in short, to get married. Peter, a loud mouth drunk, artist and comedian will do anything for a laugh and decides he'll be the man for her.Kate is a bright, talented politician but has no personal charm or romantic success. This void is thrown into sharp relief by her wealthy and beautiful sister Bianca who earns a crust as a top model. Kate is tipped for big things but is warned that political success will only materialise when she's perceived to be leading a normal married existence. When the over whelming Petruchio bursts onto the scene and almost immediately proposes, Kate decides to take the plunge. However, after this whirlwind romance all goes downhill. Petruchio turns up for the wedding in women's clothes. An attempt to 'express' himself honestly, honestly and Kate sees red. The honeymoon proceeds miserably, Kate furious and humiliated and Petruchio determined to get revenge for a litany of cruel things she said to him on their wedding day. Their battle for power - both hilarious and at times disturbing - results in a deeper understanding of each other and themselves and finally true love reigns.
