Catharine and Petruchio
''Catharine and Petruchio'' is a reworking of William Shakespeare's ''The Taming of the Shrew'' by British playwright and actor David Garrick. It was written in 1754 and was performed far more often than the original ''The Shrew'' through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
==Performance History==
''The Taming of the Shrew'' was revived following the English Civil War in the second half of the seventeenth century, but not necessarily in Shakespeare's 'original' version. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw multiple adaptations of Shakespeare's ''The Shrew.'' And, as in Nahum Tate's adaptation of ''King Lear'', which transforms the tragic ending into a happy marriage between Cordelia and Edgar, the idea that Shakespeare's works were sacrosanct and inalterable was not yet established.
Of the many versions of ''The Shrew'' that appeared, David Garrick's was the most popular and influential. For example, his was the first production in which Petruchio uses a whip in Act II, scene II, seemingly initiated by actor John P. Kemble, who played Petruchio. Between 1754 and 1844, ''Catharine and Petruchio'' was the only version of Shakespeare's play performed on British and American stages, and the sixth most popular Shakespearean play, according to scholar Frances E. Dolan.〔Dolan, Frances E. ''The Taming of the Shrew: Texts and Contexts.'' Boston: Bedford/St. Martin's Press, 1996.〕
