W. Shakespeare.

The  Taming  of  the  Shrew

Baptista     –  a  rich  gentleman, а  father  of  Katherina  and  Bianka

Gentleman – a  rich  man, a  friend  of  Baptista

Katherina – an older  daughter  of  the  noble  man  Baptista

Bianka       - the  youngest  daughter  the  noble  man  Baptista

Scene  1      (  living  room  in  the  Baptista’s  house )

Bianka:     You  are  the  most  egoistic person, I  know. Dad  doesn’t  allow  me  to  get  married. I’m  so  unhappy. I  never  get  married  because   of  you. Nobody  wants  to  be  your  husband. Your  tongue  is  too  scold. Men are  afraid  of  you.

Katherina: Marrige  is  a  worth  thing  in  the  world. Imagine, you  would serve your husband  and  he   lies   on  a  sofa   and  commands: ”Do  this, do  that”, makes  foolish  tricks  and  you  must  laugh  and  pretend  you  love  him. Stop  whining, try  to  do  something  useful. Don’t  be  like  a  hen.

Bianka:     You  are  angry, egoistic  and scolding. I  and my  bridegroom, we  are  so  unhappy  because  of  you.

Katherina:  Go, go  away…  Why  do  people  want  to  get  married? It’s  so  boring and  

                     silly  to  follow    orders  of  the  man, love  him. What  does  it  mean  love?                    Love, love!!! It’s  a  fairy  tale  for  young girls. I’ll  never  fall in  love. Men  are  too  self- confident, think  that  women  must  serve  them  and  they’ll  give   us  their  love  only  when  they  want. Nobody  thinks  about  our  fillings.

                     Never, never, never….            

Baptista:  My  younger  daughter  Bianca….!  She  is  so  beautiful  and  gentle. A  lot  of  suitors  wish  to  marry  her. And  my  father’s  heart  will  me  to  think  about  my  older  daughter  Katherina.

Gentleman : Oh..!  Her  beauty   is  known, but  her  temper…, her  tongue  is  too  sharp.  Who

                       will   agree  to  have  so  wild  “cat”  as  a  wife?

Baptista:      I’m  afraid,  Katherina  would  never  find  a  husband. I’ll  never  allow  Bianca  to  marry  until  her  sister  Katherina  get  married.

Gentleman : Let’s  think. We should   find a husband  for  her  by  ourselves. … And may be

                      I know   a suitable gentleman.  As I heard a rich gentleman called Petruchio

                      came from Verona  to  Padua. His  father  dead  not  so  long  and  left  him  

                     plenty  money.  Petruchio   now  wish  to  see  something  in   the  world  and  find

                      a  wife. He  has  the  best  of  tempers  and  is  a  favourite  with  his   friends.

Baptista:      May  be  we  are  lucky  and  he  could  get  married  Katherina.

Gentleman : I’ll  try  to  speak  with  him  and  visit  you  soon. Oh ! I  think,  Katherina

                       would  be  a  good  wife  for  him.

Baptista:  Oh !  It  would  be  great !

                                                   Scene  2  (  in  the    Baptista’s  house  )

Baptista

Gentleman

Petruchio -  a  gentleman  from  Verona

Music master – Katherina’s music  teacher

Katherina

Baptista:  Oh, my  dear  friend ! I’m  glad  to  see  you  and  who  is  that  gentleman  with  you?

Gentleman : May  I  introduce  you  Petruchio, a  gentleman  from  Verona. I  told  you  about  him  not  so  long. He   would  like  to  meet  your  older  daughter  Katherina.

Petruchio: I’m  glad  to  greet you, sir. I’ve  heard  a  lot  about  the  beauty  of  your  daughters   Bianca  and  Katherina . But  the  most  of  all  I’ve  heard  about  gentles  of  Katherina, so  I’ve  come  to  ask  you  your  leave  to  marry  her.

Baptista:   I  fear  my  daughter  won’t  suit  you.

Petruchio: I  see  you  don’t  wish  to  part  with  her  or  don’t  want  me  as  a  son-in-law.

Baptista:  Indeed  you  are  mistaken! I  should  tell  you  about  her  cross  ways  and  scolding  tongue.

(  the  music master  is  rushing  into  the  room  with    frighten eyes and  blood  on  his  head)

Music master: Oh! Help  me, please!

Baptista:  What’s  wrong ?  

Music master: She’ll  make  a  better  soldier ! I  only  corrected  her  for  the  way  she  played  and  she   struck  me  on  the  head  with  her  lute. She  called  me  all  sorts  of  rude  names,  so  I  was  frightened  out my  life.

Petruchio: (to  himself)   She  is  a brave  girl!  I  love  her  ten  times  more  than  ever  and  want  to  have  a  chat  with  her.

                   (to  Baptista)  Sir, I’m  hurry  to  be  married  and  want    to  see  my  bride  at  once.

                 (  noise, something  is  falling  down,  Katherina  comes  into  the  room, she is  angry  but  proud)

Katherina: Where  is  that  donkey ? He  dared  tell  me  I  was  playing  wrong.

                    Got  dammit!  Come  here!  I’ll  show  you  how  to  play  a  lute.

Petruchio: (for  himself)  I ‘ll  woo   her  some  spirit. If  she  scolds,  I’ll  tell  her  that  she  sings  as  sweetly  as  a  nightingale. If  she  frowns,  I ‘ll  say  she  looks  as  clear   as  morning  roses  newly  washed  with  dew. If  she  won’t  speak  a   word, I‘ll  say  how  charmingly  she  talks.

                 ( to  Katherina)  Good  morning,  Kate, for  that’s  your  name  I  heard.

Katherina: They  call  me  Katherina, those  that  do  talk  of  me.

Petruchio:  You  lie, for  you  are  called  plain  Kate,  and  beautiful   Kate, sometimes  cross  Kate, but  Kate  you  are, the  prettiest  Kate  in  the  world. Hearing   about  your  beauty  and  mildness, I have  come  to  merry  you.

Katherina: ( is  laughting ) Never, never, never ! I  wouldn’t  be  your  wife.

                God  bless  me ! Where  does  this  self-confident  blockhead  come  from ?

               ( to  her  father ) Well, this  way  you’ve  planed  to  marry  me  to  that  cock.

Baptista:  I’m  going  to  leave  him  to  marry  you. It   is  my  last  word.

Petruchio: Be  patient, sir. She  talks  thus  when  you  are  here. When  we  will  be  alone, no  one  can  be  tender  and  loving.

                 Give  me  your  hand, Kate. I’ll  go  to  Venice  to  buy  rings, rich  clothes   and  fine  things  for  our  wedding  on  Sunday. Kiss   me, dear  Kate, and  prepare  the  marriage  feast.

                                                            Scene  3

Story-teller

Katherina

Story-teller: When  Sunday  came, the  feast  was  ready, the  guests  were  waiting. Katherina    

                    was   ready  to be  made  Petruchio’s  wife. But  he  was  late, guests  were  

                    whispering,  Baptista  grew  angry. Katherina   raged  and  then  wept  bitterly. At   last   Petruchio  came  in  with  his  servants. He  was  dressed  in  shabby, old  rags, had broken  sword, his  servants  were  dressed  even  worse  that  his  master. He  took   Katherina  to  his  castle, left  the  guests  in  surprising  to  get  a  wedding  feast.

Katherina: Oh, my  God!   I’m  so  tired, want  to  eat  and  sleep. When  we  came  to  the  castle , my  dear  husband  didn’t  allow  me  to  eat. When  servants  brought  meal, he  said  that  the  meal was  burned, pudding – badly  dressed  and  fruits  weren’t  fit to  eat, he  dropped out  the  meal. That’s  why   we  had  to  be  hungry. He  didn’t  allow  me  to  sleep. He  said  that  the  bedclothes  was so  dirty, not  white, the  pillows  were  hard. He  dropped  out  the  pillows. I  have  no  power, I  want  to  sleep.

Story-teller:  Next  day  Petruchio  behaved  in  the  same  way, speaking  with  kindness  to  

                       Katherina, yet  making  everything  as  uncomfortable  for  her  as  he  could, but  

                       said  gentle.

Petruchio

Katherina

Story-teller:  Next  day  came, so  well  had  Katherina  learned  her  lesson  that  she  allowed  Petruchio to  say  what  he  pleased. They   have  done  to  Baptista's  house  to  the  Bianca's  wedding feast. On  the  way  the  sun  shone  brightly.

Petruchio: How  bright  the  moon  shines!

Katherina: The  moon ? The  sun; it  is   not  moon light  now.

Petruchio: I  say  it  is  the  moon  that  shines  so  bright!

Katherina: I  know  it  is  the  sun  that  shines  so  bright.

Petruchio: Now, it  shall  be  moon, or  star, or  what  I  please  before I  go  to  your  father's  house. Turn  the horses  and  go  home  again.

Katherina:  Let's  go  forward, I  pray, since  we  come  so  far, and  it  shall  be  moon; or  star, or  sun, or  whatever  you  please  and  if  you  call  it  a  candle, it  shall  be  so  for  me.

Petruchio: I  say, then, it  is  the  moon!

Katherina: I  know, it  is  the  moon.

Petruchio: You  lie, it  is  the  sun!

Katherina: Then  it  is  the  sun. You  may  call  it  any  name  like, it  shall  be  so  for  Katherina.

Bianca's  husband: My  Bianca  is  coming  at  once  I  ask. (to  servant)  Say  to  your  mistress  that  her  husband  wants  to  see  her  immidietly.

                 (servant  goes  away, all  are  laughing  and  waiting  for  the  answer, then  servant  came  back)

Katherina: She  is  sitting  and  talking  with  the  other  bride.

Bianca's  husband: Here  is  a  wonder!  You  have  won  the  bet, good  Petruchio.

Petruchio : I've  won  the  bet  and  showed  you  better  still  her  new  goodness  and  obedience.

                   Kate, dear,  tell  them  what  duty  they  owe  their  husband.

Katherina: Our  husbands  work  hard  to  do  us  happy,  they  don't  sleep  to  care  of  our  wealth. They  fight  and  bring  their  glory  to  our  feet. And  only  they  ask  is  to  be  obidient  and  love  them.

Petruchio : Oh, my  sweetheart ! You  are  the  best  wife  in  the  world.

The  end.
