About the Show

Adrian Dunbar & Stephanie J. Block star in this revival of Cole Porter's musical comedy.

Fred Graham & Lilli Vanessi are two stage stars preparing for a run of Shakespeare's 'The Taming of the Shrew'. There's on-stage and off-stage drama aplenty when the pair become romantically involved. As their tumultuous relationship mirrors the play within a play, humor and chaos ensue.

Fueled by witty dialogue, memorable Cole Porter songs, and lively choreography, this revival of 'Kiss Me, Kate' stars BAFTA nominee Adrian Dunbar ('Line of Duty') and Tony Award winner Stephanie J. Block ('Into the Woods'), who makes her West End debut as Lilli Vanessi.

This production is recommended for ages 10+.
