Description: Everyone wants to marry the beautiful Bianca, but her Father won’t consider any of her suitors until he’s successfully married off to her cantankerous older sister, Kate. Along comes Petruchio, seeking his fortune and a wife. The desperate suitors hire him to woo and tame “Kate the curst,” and the battle of wills is on. But human will--of either the male or female variety--is no match for the boy cupid. A classic love story of hilariously ferocious proportions!
