- Reviews
- `...Bogdanov, like any intelligent man, clearly finds The Shrew a barbaric and disgusting play...is there any reason to revive a play that seems so totally offensive to our age and society. My own feeling is that it should be put firmly and squarely on the shelf’. Michael Billington, The Guardian (5 May 1978).
