Kiss Me, Kate
BarbicanTheatre
Start time: 7.30pm
Join us for this thrilling summer revival of ‘Kiss Me, Kate’, starring the multi-award-winning Adrian Dunbar (Ridley, Line of Duty) and Broadway musical superstar and Tony Award Winner Stephanie J. Block (Into The Woods, The Cher Show, 9 to 5). Joined also by one of our favourite musical actors, the Olivier-award nominee, Charlie Stemp, star of Chichester’s Half A Sixpence and Crazy For You, as well as Mary Poppins in the West End.
Egotistical leading man, director, and producer Fred Graham is reunited with his ex-wife, Lilli Vanessi, when the two are forced to play opposite one another in a new production of Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew. The battle of the sexes continues onstage and off, as it becomes clear that, as much as this couple profess to hate each other, they are also still in love.
Alongside their bickering liaison, the show’s supporting actress, Lois Lane, supports her gambling boyfriend, Bill, as he attempts to evade the clutches of local gangsters…
With Cole Porter’s razor-sharp wit, a company of over 50 including a full-scale orchestra, and featuring classics such as ‘Another Op’nin’, Another Show’, ‘Brush Up Your Shakespeare’ and ‘Tom, Dick or Harry’, this is a show sure to dazzle!
