Gregory Doran's hilariously inventive production was paired with John Fletcher's The Tamer Tamed. Gregory Doran's pairing of The Taming of the Shrew with John Fletcher's The Woman's Prize or The Tamer Tamed provided a novel framework which replaced the Induction. Fletcher's play was the 'antidote' to Shakespeare's tale of female subjugation as the tables were turned and Petruchio was tamed by his second wife Maria. Both productions employed the same abstract sets and cast.
