Customer Reviews

“You bit King Kong and gave him rabies.”

Next best thing to see the real thing live. There are other classic versions of "Kiss Me, Kate” and local plays. This "Great Performances": Kiss Me Kate (2003 TV S31.E9) is still a solid standalone presentation. It was a live performance of the 1999 revival, filmed at The Victoria Palace Theater in London, the theatre in which it was staged, and in front of a live audience. A musical based on Shakespeare's “The Taming of the shrew.” Be prepared, as this is in contemporary clothing and no iambic pentameter. Staged in front of a live audience. Brent Barrett as Fred Graham / Petruchio Rachel York as Lilli Vanessi / Katherine Nancy Anderson as Lois Lane / Bianca Michael Berresse as Bill Calhoun / Lucentio The presentation is clear, and the sound is well recorded. You do not have to be a Cole Porter fan or even familiar with Shakespeare to appreciate this lesson on the evils of gambling and its consequences.
