Seeing he has no chance against Lucentio (AKA “Cambio”), Hortensio drops his “Licio” disguise and swears off women. Biondello, meanwhile, has found an old merchant who will pretend to be Lucentio’s father, Vincenzio, so that Lucentio can marry Bianca without getting his real father’s permission. Meanwhile, Katherine wakes in the comfort of Petruchio’s home and is further smitten as he describes the goings-on at his farm. Later, Baptista gets all rights to Vinzentio’s property from the man he thinks is Lucentio’s father but is really the old and very agreeable merchant. Hortensio goes to Petrucio’s house and is greeted by Grumio. As they rush to attend Bianca’s hasty marriage they’re interrupted by the arrival of an old gentleman who’s lost his way trying to find his son. It doesn’t take long for everyone to realize the gentleman is none other than Vincenzio, Lucentio’s real father.

Shrew! - Episode 4 - Bring The Bridal Litter!
Katherine reluctantly goes to church to be married, only to learn through an elaborate pantomime performed by Grumio and Biondello that Petruchio is running late. Finally, a drunk priest arrives with Petruchio, who is dressed as a gondolier. They make a mockery of the wedding but a humiliated Katherine is nonetheless sent off with her new husband by her clueless father, who reminisces fondly about young love. The newlyweds eventually arrive at Petruchio’s frigid home in the pouring rain, where he tells her that he lives selflessly in poverty with seven penitents who share his bed and follow elaborate rituals before eating. Katherine nearly goes mad with hunger as Petruchio demands that they follow every step of the ritual before dining on the food delivered by the kitchen mistress, Dorcas. At last, Katherine realizes it’s all a joke and she devours her food with joy and laughter. Once sated, she tells Petruchio she’s going upstairs to get ready to lose her virginity to him, but Petruchio tells her he has no intention of making love to her until she is well rested and truly wants to be with him. It only makes Katherine more attracted to him, but Petruchio insists that she get a good night’s sleep as he privately confesses to feeling the rekindling of his long dormant passion.  The PLAY ON PODCAST SERIES, “SHREW!”, was written by AMY FREED and directed by ART MANKE.

Shrew! - Episode 3 - Is There No New Thing?
Petruchio negotiates with Baptista for Katherine’s hand until Licio emerges from his tutoring session bruised and battered. It only strengthens Petruchio’s resolve to woo Katherine and when she arrives, the two engage in a spirited match of wits. Katherine reluctantly agrees to go with Petruchio when he tells her that her father has agreed to marry her off to him. Gremio and Tranio (as Lucentio) immediately try to out-do each other in their bid for Bianca’s hand, with Baptista as auctioneer. Tranio wins the contest and is promised Bianca’s hand in marriage provided his father (Vincentio the tomato king) comes to the wedding in person. Tranio privately conspires to find a look-alike to pretend to be Vincentio. Meanwhile, Hortensio (still pretending to be Licio the Banjo Tutor) tries to woo Bianca with his instrument until Lucentio (as Cambio the Latin Tutor) interrupts and sends him away. He confesses his love to Bianca, who secretly invites him to her chamber after lunch. Hortensio returns and tries again with Bianca, failing miserably.

Shrew! - Episode 2 - To Woo The Shrew
Petruchio tells Hortensio he’s come to Padua to find a partner to give him renewed life after grieving the loss of his first wife. Hortensio tells him about Baptista’s daughter, Katherine, but warns him that she’s quite the shrew. Petruchio realizes he knows her father and is not put off. Hortensio agrees to provide an introduction if, in exchange, Petruchio presents him to Signior Baptista as a tutor for the object of his affection: Bianca. As they agree to the deal, Grumio announces the arrival of two other rivals vying for Bianca: Gremio and Lucentio, now disguised as Cambio. Hortensio introduces them to Petruchio and tells them of his intentions with Katherine, who once coupled will make Bianca available for marriage. Meanwhile, Katherine laments her isolation in her chamber at Baptista’s house. She impulsively frees her sister’s canaries from their cage to find the freedom she craves. When Bianca enters and sees what Katherine’s done, the two fight savagely until Signor Baptista arrives to break it up. He sends Bianca away and scolds Katherine, lamenting his struggles as a single father until he hears the arrival of Gremio, Grumio, Tranio (as Lucentio), Lucentio (as Cambio), Hortensio (as Licio) and Petruchio. Petruchio tells Baptista of his lineage and his desire to woo Katherine. Baptista says she’ll never agree but Petruchio persists, introducing Hortensio (as “Licio”), who he says will make inroads as her banjo tutor. The others go to great lengths to outdo each other as they compete for Bianca. Gremio presents a Latin tutor (Lucentio-as-Cambio) and Tranio-as-Lucentio claims to be the son of Vincentio, “the Tomato King”.  Baptista welcomes them all to his house and wishes them luck with his daughters.

Shrew! - Episode 1 - Your Wig Slips
Mistress Slapbottom clears the pub of all its rowdy revelers, leaving her alone with a woman who laments being tasked with ghost writing a sexist play about the taming of a shrew. She begins a page one rewrite, making the female protagonist, Katherine, a woman who loves learning and cannot stand being cooped up by the men who try to control her. We meet Lucentio and Tranio, who are visiting Padua. Strolling through the university, Lucentio is immediately smitten by Katherine’s sister, Bianca, an airhead who loves being in a man’s world. He conspires with Tranio to disguise himself as a tutor in order to gain access to Bianca by way of instruction. Meanwhile, Petruchio arrives in town with his trusty servant, Grumio, to visit his friends. They are greeted by Petruchio’s old pal, Hortensio.
