Drag. Puppetry. Power games. Experience Shakespeare’s play of matrimonial misery as you’ve never seen it before. Shrew uses the classic text—inverted, upended, and overturned—to shatter our funhouse mirrors.

"Ramsey, a talented director, has crafted a genuinely stunning final moment." - The Seattle Times 

"At its heart, this Shrew succeeds not by softening Shakespeare’s thorns but by leaning into them, wrestling with the discomfort rather than running from it. The result is a production that is messy, funny, provocative, and undeniably alive—everything theatre should be when it dares to reexamine the classics through a modern lens." - The Sound on Stage 

"Ramsey's work has long displayed a affinity and facility for the bizzare, and Shrew gives her a lot to work with." - The Seattle Times
