You’re Just Too Good to be Shrew Production
On Friday 4 and Saturday 5 April, the Year 10 to 12 play, You’re Just Too Good to Be Shrew, will light up the Gillian Moore Centre for Performing Arts (GMCPA) stage, featuring some of our talented Drama students. This exciting performance is a must-see for anyone who loves comedy, classic literature, and a modern twist on timeless themes.
You’re Just Too Good to Be Shrew is a hilarious parody and adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew and the film The 10 Things I Hate About You! Set at Padua Institute for Sports Studies, this clever play critiques outdated gender roles and presents a satirical look at love, relationships, and power dynamics. It explores how societal expectations shape our interactions, especially in a teenage world where rebellion and romance often collide. The play cleverly subverts these expectations with its sharp wit and strong female roles.
The cast has worked tirelessly to bring this vibrant and energetic interpretation to life with modern themes which are relatable for today’s audience. The cast of You’re Just Too Good to Be Shrew brings a unique blend of energy and passion to the stage, each actor adding their own flair to the well-known characters. The play’s dynamic performances promises to keep the audience engaged, entertained, and even a little surprised by the bold choices. Whether you’re familiar with the original play or film or coming to the story fresh, there’s something for everyone in this delightful production.
