Best Beware My Sting
From William Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew" Author(s):
Paul Nolan
Musician/Composer(s):
Arne Christiansen
Lyricist(s):
Ole Kittleson
Our ever-popular Taming of the Shrew from the Globe Theatre Series has now been enriched with the radiant music of Christiansen and Kittleson. All the young gentlemen in Padua are in love with the lovely Bianca, but she cannot marry until her older sister, Katherine, is wed. But Katherine is short-tempered and unmannerly, and no man will have her. Petruchio, a gentleman from Verona, arrives in Padua in search of a well-to-do wife. Katherine is certainly prosperous, but in her typically irritable and curt way, she warns Petruchio to "best beware my sting!" Petruchio, however, biased by her handsome dowry, is willing to tame her shrewish character. The delightful music adds much charm and Italian flavor to this classic story. With room for a large chorus of men or women, songs include "Here In Padua," "What Should a Suitor Do?" and of course, "Best Beware My Sting." Also available as a non-musical. Best Beware My Sting Here In Padua Such Devoted Sisters Toast the Bride What Should a Father Do?
