Synopsis:
Lucentio arrives at Padua and falls head over heels for Bianca. The problem; her father Baptista has forbidden anyone to marry her until his strong-willed oldest daughter, Katherine, is married and out of his hair.
Petruchio comes to visit his friend, Hortensio, with one goal in mind, to find a rich wife. He is presented with the challenge of marrying the “shrewish” Katherine. While he focuses on transforming Katherine into a loving wife, Lucentio plots to win the heart of Bianca. But can he beat out her other suitors?
