Is William Shakespeare's play The Taming of the Shrew a misogynist joke, a product of 1590s patriarchy and a ghastly tale of toxic masculinity on the rampage? How are we supposed to watch it today? And what would Cole Porter say? In his annual session on Shakespeare in Italy, Peter Florence un-cancels the problem play. He offers a re-reading that reminds us of who wrote it and what he's asking of who watches it, then and now.
