Inspired by The Taming of the Shrew, Kiss Me Kate tells the tale of two once-married, now-divorced musical theater actors, Fred Grahamand Lilli Vanessi, who are performing opposite each other in the roles of Petruchio and Katharina in a Broadway-bound musical versionof William Shakespeareâs play.
Already on poor terms, the pair begin an all-out emotional war mid-performance that threatens the productionâs success. The only thing keeping the show together are threats from a pair of gangsters, who have come to collect a gambling debt from the show's Lucentio, Bill Calhoun. In classic musical comedy fashion, slapstick madness ensues before everything is resolved.
