This is the
third RSC production featuring RSC actors and geared to younger audiences for
school-age audiences through the RSC/Ohio State partnership. An edited version
of Hamlet came to Columbus in June
2011; in autumn 2012 a shortened version of King
Lear was presented on campus. With the production of The Taming of the Shrew, more than 4,000 Columbus-area students
have been introduced to Shakespeare through visiting RSC productions.

people to: Do Shakespeare on their Feet, See it Live, Start it Earlier. CONTACT: Victoria Ellwood, (614)
