Buy All Good Men and Absolute Beginners: Two Plays for Television | Trevor Griffiths for R48.00

One of the most influential of Shakespeare’s plays, this early comedy has inspired numerous adaptations from opera to television. Audiences and critics have wrangled over the ending – is it happy? was Shakespeare being ironic? – not only in modern times but ever since the play was first performed. As the elder of two sisters, Katharina, sharp-tongued and even violent, must be married before sweet-natured Bianca. Despite the large dowry her father offers, none of Padua’s young men will risk marriage with a ‘shrew’. Petruchio, however, is impressed by Katharina’s spirit and confident of his own ability to manage her temper. This comedy of relations between the sexes remains a highly entertaining exploration of the struggle for supremacy within every couple. 1960 Green Folio Society clean white pages good condition, Hardback covers has a white scuff mark on the back.
