"The Taming of the Shrew Shortened" is an abridged version of Shakespeare's play "The Taming of the Shrew". It is a shorter version that plays about an hour on the stage and is perfect for amateur and professional acting troupes alike. It is also a great resource for teachers of English who wish to cover more plays in less time using this unique series of shortened plays. David R.
