Welcome to Theatre /verv/! |
|
WE’RE BACK! After a three year hiatus /verv/ has returned to once again bring spirit and enthusiasm to the Charleston theatre scene. With a new home at the South of Broadway Theatre Company in Park Circle, North Charleston, and a new acting company, /verv/ is excited to be back. Since 2005 /verv/ has been a critically acclaimed theatrical presence in the Charleston area. If you haven’t made the trip up to the Park Circle area of North Charleston, now is the time. Great dining, nightlife, and now entertainment, Park Circle has it all. Embracing both contemporary and classical, comedic and dramatic pieces /verv/ knows no bounds. Experience all this with Theatre /verv/.

/verv/ presents Shakespeare’s classic battle of the sexes as only they can. Dear old Baptista has a problem. His youngest daughter Bianca is the apple of his eye, and unfortunately every eligible bachelor in Padua, while his older daughter, Kate, is so tempestuous she has been labeled the Shrew of Padua. The bachelor’s are in an equal bind as the only way one of them can marry Bianca, is for someone to marry Kate first. Fortunately the young noble Petruchio has just arrived on the scene, and he may be just the man to Tame this Shrew. What follows is an uproarious battle for control, and who knows how it may end. While modern adaptations such as Kiss me, Kate and 10 Things I Hate About You, have seen great success, Shakespeare’s original text has been considered controversial due to supposed misogynistic undertones. But trust in /verv/ to bring a lively, humorous and interesting version to the North Charleston stage.
