The taming of the shrew

I went to the performance called the taming of the shrew on the 19th December at NFLS Auditorium (3rd Floor, over Cafeteria) 30 Beijing Dong Lu, Nanjing. I went there with my friends: Nelly, Kathleen, Doria and Sima. All ticket sales and donations from the performance would go to the Pfrang Association. This performance was performed by the members from movie club.


We arrived there at about 6: 15 p.m. and the doors opened at about 6:30p.m. even a little bit later. The show begins at about 7:00 p.m. I chose this performance had three reasons. The first one was it was held by GCA, the second reason was the price of it was cheap, the last one was my friends recommended me to go there.


The main characters of it were Katharina and Petruchio. They were personated by Cherry and Fan. The show was so great, I like it very much. It was a story about Katharina who was Baptista's daughter. She was a noblewoman and a grumpy shrew but she was smart and full of wisdom. A man called Petruchio got married with her and helped her to become a compliant and gentle woman. The dialogue and the plot were funny, I thought. The process of change was not easy, but it was full of fun and intelligence. I thought the most interesting scene was Katharina was angry and hit Petruchio. Katharina's angry countenance and Petruchio's poor countenance made me laugh.


I like it not only because the interesting plot, gorgeously dressed, richly ornamented and actors' consummate acting skill, but also because I can know some truth of the life. I knew if we want to be successful, we should have an exact goal. Next you should have confidence and courage, then you need to put all your effort into it, finally you can be a winner.
