Our patron says:

Attending a rehearsal of GYP and watching Edward Derbyshire directing a couple of years ago, I quickly came to the conclusion that if I had been one of those teenagers who was looking for experience and guidance in dramatic arts, it would be difficult to find a more erudite and passionate teacher to inspire and steer their hopes and skills for the future. I am very proud, therefore, to be their patron and to feel part of this tremendous Theatrical company. 

And now for The Taming of the Shrew...

A touring company of actors arrives to rehearse their latest show in their latest venue and as they limber up a dynamic between two of their number becomes clear. They debate amongst themselves their roles as male and female actors and, as they do so, fall into a different and reinvigorated telling of the play they thought they knew so well. As the play takes shape, competitive and urgent desires little mentioned before arise, and the company finds itself no longer rehearsing merely as actors, but rather living out as people the characters Shakespeare has written for them, with unexpected consequences. By its conclusion, the power of the story has changed them and their lives immutably.
