The Guthrie WorldStage Series presents
Propeller’s productions of
Twelfth Night
in repertory with The Taming of the Shrew
by William Shakespeare
directed by Edward Hall

This season the Guthrie welcomes internationally acclaimed Propeller to present Twelfth Night in repertory with The Taming of the Shrew, two comedies full of mistaken identities, transformations and deception. Well known for communicating the genius of Shakespeare with a distinctive physical approach including the use of an all-male company, Propeller presents Shakespeare with clarity, speed and imagination. Britain’s The Stage raved, “Propeller makes Shakespeare feel sharp, contemporary and urgent without skimping on the language or cutting corners. And for young audiences, I can’t imagine a more exciting introduction to our greatest dramatist.”
