Went to The Actor Studio in Bangsar to catch a theatre "Taming of the Shrew" with Woei Ming, mom, Hee Xiang and Yin Foong. It was Yin Foong birthday, so consider a treat from me.
I was already late arriving at the scene, leaving my work site at Bandar Menjalara at 8:15pm, while the show is going to commence in another 15 minutes. So, drove in acceleration of 120km/h. What a record! Luckily the traffic went smoothly. Thank god!
The show kicked started with Lucentio (李承運） and his fellow companion bracing the outside. Then, follow with argument by love pursuers wooing over a beautiful girl, Bianca, which everyone started to fall in love with instantly. However, the condition for this beautiful girl to be married is to get a soul mate for the eldest sister, Katharina (呂愛瓊）, who is fearsome by many men.
So, the pursuers in return for the hand of marraige to Bianca, are secretly seeking ways to get a groom for Katharina. In the end, Petruchio (黃囯強）married her by force, and the moral of the story is: marriage is about reciprocity, Taming the Shrew or Being Tamed too?
The story line was alright, just that I felt it was unnecessary too draggy and long-winded. The humour snowballing effect has lost its magic after the intermission. Making the momentum falls to its valley altogether for me. Good start though. I think it should cut the unneccesary parts to reflect a greater side of "How to Tame the Shrew, and In Return". The joke just got lost somewhere.
I particularly like the part played by 李承運 as he is really good with the Indian dance. Thumbs up for him.
Anyhow, the show was a "so-so" to me. Keep it up, folks!
