Charles Troy Presents
The Creation of Kiss Me Kate

Cole Porter’s triumphant show came along at a most propitious time — when he’d been given up as passé by Broadway audiences, and when the show’s Shakespearean subject matter was particularly pertinent. It was after WWII, when the women who had been aiding the war effort in the workplace had to be “tamed” back into the kitchen by the then-current culture. James Shapiro’s book, “Shakespeare in a Divided America”, lays out this revelatory idea, and Charles Troy’s multimedia presentation dramatizes and expands upon Shapiro’s brilliant concept.
