Wikipedia, Dec. 11, 2012: The Taming of the Shrew (a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1590 and 1592; it has been adapted numerous times for stage, screen, opera, and musical theatre, perhaps the most famous adaptations being Cole Porter's musical Kiss Me, Kate and the 1967 film version of the original play, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The film 10 Things I Hate About You is also loosely based on the play) 10 Things I Hate About You (1999 American teen romantic comedy film; directed by Gil Junger; a modernization of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew) The Taming of the Shrew (1908 film) (1908 silent film directed by D.W. Griffith; based on Shakespeare's play of the same name) The Taming of the Shrew (1929 film) (the first sound film adaptation of the Shakespearean play of the same name; directed by Sam Taylor) The Taming of the Shrew (1967 film) (1967 film based on the play of the same name by William Shakespeare; directed by Franco Zeffirelli) Shakespeare in quarto, via British Library website, Dec. 11, 2012 (The Taming of the Shrew has been dated as early as 1589, which would make it not only Shakespeare's first comedy but also his first play. The available evidence supports a very early date for the play's creation, and 1590-1591 is often suggested. The Taming of the Shrew must be dated in relation to the anonymous play The Taming of A Shrew, entered on the Stationers' Register in 1594 and printed the same year. The 1594 edition of The Taming of A Shrew is now generally thought of as a 'bad' quarto of Shakespeare's play. It appears to be a memorial reconstruction by actors of The Taming of the Shrew, with assistance from an unknown writer, and was probably written in 1592.) |
