| − | ''[[Catharine and Petruchio]]'' is an adaptation of Shakespeare's ''[[The Taming of the Shrew]]'' by David Garrick. It was the most successful adaptation of a number done over the years, and was introduced in 1756 and dominated the stage for almost two centuries, with Shakespeare's play not returning until 1844 in England and 1887 in the United States, although Garrick's version was still being performed as late as 1879, when Herbert Beerbohm Tree staged it. Its subblot has been cut and it is not a full length play, hence it was often used as part of an evening's programme.
