Shrew! - Episode 3 - Is There No New Thing?

from Play On Podcasts · host Next Chapter Podcasts

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.
