The Taming of the Shrew- Two young noblemen, Grumio and Hortensio both long to wed the same beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, her wealthy father will not let his daughter marry unless her hot-tempered sister, Katherina, also has a suitor. Luckily, Petruchio is looking for an affluent woman to marry, so Grumio and Hortensio convince him to try to woo the extremely volatile Katherina.
