The Taming of the Shrew
Directed by James Dunn
Producer's Perspective:
One of the most successful
productions ever to come out of Marin County was Jim
Dunn's Wild West The Taming of the Shrew.
It's no wonder Jim maintains a warm spot in his heart
for this gem which originated at the College of Marin
and went on to earn a series of accolades, special
performances and remountings. And can it be a wonder
that Jim wanted to enjoy his creation one last – he
claims! – time?
In some ways, this show was easy to produce, as Jim
knew exactly its rhythms, sight gags, and casting
needs. In other ways, it was daunting, with a huge
reputation to live up to and attempt to exceed.
