SHREWED! Is coming to Otford this May!
21^st – 24^th May

Keep calm? Not Kate.

Following the success of Midsummer at The Archbishops Palace, Otford in 2024, 
Sevenoaks Shakespeare will be returning this year with a brand new production. 

SHREWED! Is a bold, high-spirited adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew, reimagined against the backdrop of wartime Britain.
At its heart is Kate – sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and far too modern for the comfort of her neighbours. Performing alongside her sister and formidable mother, Kate is the talk of the village… and not always in a good way. 

Then Peter arrives. 

An American soldier on leave, charming, confident and intrigued by rumours of the village’s “hot-tempered shrew,” Peter sees Kate not as a warning – but as a challenge. What follows is a battle of wits packed with fixation, fire, and razor-sharp humour. In a world turned upside down by war, love becomes the most unpredictable campaign of all. 

With live music from The Jean Bentley Band, expect toe-tapping swing, swooning ballads, and a soundtrack that transports you straight to a 1940’s dance hall. 

And the evening doesn’t stop at the curtain call – enjoy hot food, warming drinks, and wholesome market stalls that bring the whole village to life. 

Make a night of it. Dress the part. Step into the story.
