To Have and To Hold

A gleefully un-Shakespearean riff on The Taming of the Shrew plays its last performance Saturday night in the West Village. Laura Lapidus wrote it and stars opposite Tedra Millan and Yuriy Sardarov.

Laura Lapidus wrote herself a Taming of the Shrew that refuses to be tamed, and Saturday night is the last time anyone will see it. Kate has built an entire identity on never marrying — until her sister and best friend Bianca announces a wedding and a very persuasive Peter turns up in the grocery aisle. Ninety minutes, no intermission, in a West Village room small enough that Rows 1–3 count as a premium ticket.

What to expect

Ninety minutes, one act, no intermission, carried by a three-person cast in a small West Village theater on Christopher Street. The tone swings hard — fast, funny sibling comedy that keeps opening onto grief about a mother who died when the sisters were kids. It is the second of two performances that day and the last of the entire run, so the curtain call carries closing-night weight.
