The Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. An (all-male) production of this play (under the title of Katharine and Petruchio) by the officers of the British garrison of the Cape in the African Theatre in February of 1809 marked the first production of a full-length Shakespeare play in South Africa, although the first part of Henry IV had been performed there already in 1801 for the opening of the new venue. *** Other productions have been ***, **, Maynardville (dir John Hussey, 1982/1983?*), Translated into Afrikaans as Die Vasvat van 'n Feeks by Uys Krige *?. An enormously successful and star-studded production of this translation was done in the State Theatre, Pretoria by PACT in 198*, under the direction of Francois Swart.
