Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew is about an ambitious man who shows his bride-to-be who’s the boss. But the Lake County Theatre Company puts a modern spin on the old tale. In its version, it’s the women who wield the power and the men who are expected to conform. The new twist will be played out at this year’s Shakespeare at the Lake, at Library Park in Lakeport, on July 27 and 28 at 6:30 p.m. The show will also be staged August 2–4 at 6:30 p.m. at Austin Park in Clearlake. Seating for these free outdoor performances will be on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, see laketheatre.org.
