The play as we have it nowadays comes from the First Folio of 1623. However, an earlier version of the play, entitled The Taming of a Shrew, become published in 1594. Many scholars have debated the relationship among the 1594 play and the extra acquainted paintings of 1623. Some argue that the 2 plays-A Shrew and The Shrew-are entirely exclusive and ought to be handled as such. Others preserve that A Shrew is an earlier version of Shakespeare's play, or perhaps "derived from a commonplace authentic." (Bevington, David, Kastan, David Scott, ed., Four Comedies, 164).

The Taming of the Shrew endured to experience enormous interest in the course of the following centuries. It changed into first carried out in the United States in 1887, by means of Augustin Daly, and Katharina has been performed with the aid of such illustrious actresses of stage and screen as Margaret Anglin, Josie Lawrence, Elizabeth Taylor, Meryl Streep, Peggy Ashcroft, and Fiona Shaw. It changed into tailored to movie in 1929 with the aid of Sam Taylor, with Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. As Kate and Petruchio. In the 1950s, the musical adaptation Kiss Me, Kate changed into a hit both on Broadway and the display and In 1967, Franco Zeffirelli cast the famously stormy husband and wife team of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in his filmed version. Most these days, the play turned into tailored in 10 Things I hate about you (1999), starring Julia Stiles and Heath Ledger.
