	washingtonpost.com: Royal Shakespeare's Happy Coupling
		His neglected comedy "The Tamer Tamed" has been revived by the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is lavishing on the play the kind of loving attention usually accorded, well, Shakespeare.
		Britton is Petruchio in "The Tamer Tamed," Fletcher's reply to Shakespeare's earlier "The Taming of the Shrew." And if Fletcher's work does not display the intuitive depth and exalted command of language that is evident in Shakespeare's, it is, as Britton demonstrates over and over, good enough for a laugh.
		Gilbreath and Britton have very different challenges in "The Tamer Tamed." While she must create a character wholly separate from her needy wildcat of a Kate, he must find a way to synthesize the conceptions of Petruchio by two playwrights.

	Look More Closely at the Period
		It is clear that The Taming of the Shrew is (among other things) about the war between the sexes, and it is equally clear that Shakespeare's audience would instantly have recognized the subject, finding it entertaining and topical.
		Modern critics who assume The Taming of the Shrew is a male chauvinist play and that a Renaissance crowd would have found such a story suited their social opinions and theatrical expectations should look more closely at what was happening during the period.
		Olwen Hufton is partially right to maintain that "The shrew is tamed by words, by hunger, by deprivation of sleep and by her growing realization of the constraints on her sex, but not by beating.

	Metroactive Stage \| 'The Tamer Tamed'
		Written during Shakespeare's lifetime by a younger contemporary, John Fletcher, The Tamer Tamed is both a sequel to Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and a response from a talented young playwright to his mentor.
		In The Taming of the Shrew, the character of Petruchio berates, starves and confines Katherine, an unruly woman he wishes to marry for her dowry.
		In The Tamer Tamed, Petruchio marries a new woman, Maria, after Katherine's untimely death, which is never explained in the play.

	The Tamer Tamed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Tamer Tamed is a play by John Fletcher, first performed in 1611.
		It is a comedic sequel to William Shakespeare's 1594 play The Taming of the Shrew.
		Maria denounces her former mildness and vows not to sleep with Petruchio until she "turn him and bend him as [she] list, and mold him into a babe again." After many comedic exchanges and plot twists, Petruchio is finally "tamed" in the eyes of Maria, and the play ends with the two reconciled.

	The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - The Tamer Tamed by John Fletcher
		In John Fletcher's sequel to The Taming of the Shrew, Petruchio's world is tuned upside down by his second wife Maria who barricades herself in her bedroom and refuses to let him in until he accedes to her demands.
		Most of the cast of The Shrew appear in The Tamer Tamed, only this time it's staged in the Swan, a far more intimate space as it enables actors to interact with the audience and their facial expressions are clearly visible.
		The Tamer Tamed is the play that all women should see, especially those who have a problem with The Shrew.

		The Tamer Tamed (1611) is a remarkable, irreverent and hugely entertaining response to The Taming of the Shrew, written 20 years after Shakespeare's original.
		Maria, uninclined to be treated like Kate, determines to succeed where she had failed: "She was a fool," she says, "And took a scurvy course.
		Let her be nam'd/'Mongst those that wish for things but dare not do 'em/I have a new dance for him, and a mad one." And she proceeds to tame the tamer.

	The Taming of the Shrew and The Tamer Tamed
		In The Tamer Tamed John Fletcher forgot, or chose to neglect the fact that Shakespeare had written 'Padua' at the beginning of Shrew.
		Bianca in The Tamer Tamed is the same person as Katharina's sister in The Taming of the Shrew but in the intervening years, her character has changed quite dramatically.
		In The Taming of the Shrew she is really annoying and you want to ring her neck because you can see what Kate is all about and Bianca is so different.

		The Tamer Tamed is a rare theatrical event.
		As a play, The Tamer Tamed is merely a curiosity, rather than a serious competitor to a Shakespearean comedy.
		Despite Doran's best efforts, The Tamer Tamed is destined to remain in the repertoire of rarely played work but this critic for one is pleased to have had the opportunity to see it.

		Playing in rep with the Royal Shakespeare Company's current Taming of the Shrew is this newly-discovered oddity, a sequel to Shakespeare's comedy written about twenty years later by John Fletcher, and not performed, as far as anyone can tell, in the past 200 years.
		Fletcher's premise is that Kate, the shrew of Shakespeare's play, has died, and her wild husband Petruchio is marrying the quiet Maria just for some peace.
		Part of the joke of the production is having Alexandra Gilbreath, who plays the tamed Kate in The Shrew, double as her avenger in this play, while the triumphant Petruchio from Shakespeare is played by the same Jasper Britton here.

		The Monroe County Civic Theater's production of "The Taming of the Shrew" this weekend was an interesting melange of an early modern script with contemporary sets and costumes.
		Any modern-day production that clings to the original script of "The Taming of the Shrew," now informally classified as a "problem play," and frequently referred to as Shakespeare's comic paean to chauvinism, is going to be tricky.
		Twenty years after "The Taming of the Shrew" premiered, John Fletcher wrote "The Tamer Tamed" in an effort to counter the impact of its misogyny.

	Metroactive Stage \| 'The Tamer Tamed'
		When John Fletcher wrote The Tamer Tamed, his aim, it's generally agreed, was to attract Shakespeare's attention by parodying and inverting the sexual politics of the master playwright's Taming of the Shrew.
		And despite the fact that The Tamer was at one point banned--purportedly because of things offensive to "church and state"--the play, which is subtitled The Woman's Prize, became popular repertory fare in the 17th century--and remained so until a 19th-century Victorian England deemed it way too coarse.
		But his new wife, Maria, who seemed like a softie before their marriage, turns the tables on him on their wedding night, barricading herself into her room and vowing not to consummate the marriage until Petruchio himself is tamed--a plan that her sister Livia rightly deems "as easy as a sieve to scoop the ocean."

	The Taming of the Shrew and The Tamer Tamed
		The Taming of the Shrew is both an enduringly popular and enduringly provocative play.
		Many have argued that it should never be performed, yet a recent box office survey suggests that it is Shakespeare’s second most popular play with audiences at the RSC.
		This production is being staged in tandem with John Fletcher’s sequel, The Tamer Tamed, sometimes known as The Woman’s Prize.

	Taming of the Shrew essay
		In addition, Petruchio and Kate, on their way to the bed chamber, walk past and acknowledge their onstage audience, and Petruchio's taming soliloquy of 4.1.182-205 is delivered on the balcony in their midst.
		If this Petruchio is not a conscious improver of Kate, he does change her (as she changes him) for the better, a message of hope which the rainbows and syrupy music have been foreshadowing all along.
		In addition, it is clear that this "taming" is just as rough on Petruchio as it is on Kate when he wearily reveals his strategy at the end of 4.1; also, he sounds discouraged when he tells Kate, "Look what I speak or do or think to do,/ You are still crossing it" (4.3.190-91).

	Zakaria Tamer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among them there is a paper by Najm ʿAbd Allāh Kāẓim on the genre to which Tamer’s works belong, pointing out the economy and ambiguity of the language by which he expresses the correlation between the narrative context and its implications, which is of fundamental importance for the aesthetic structure of Tamer’s short stories.
		Those who rule, Zakaria Tamer tells us in many a story, while devoid of all the noble qualities that should be theirs, possess the intuitive awareness of how to use the carrot and the stick.
		Though humor is not one of the ingredients of theses stories, the writer does allow himself an occasional sardonic grin at the forms of injustice to which man is subjected by his rulers, his fellow men and the circumstances of lives enclosed in routine of ill-rewarded work and un-fulfillment.

	The Big Interview: Jasper Britton \| Official London Theatre Guide
		Possibly one of the Bard’s least fashionable plays in recent times, mainly due to its misogynist reputation, The Taming Of The Shrew has made a comeback over the last year in the form of an RSC production played as a double bill with Fletcher’s sequel The Tamer Tamed.
		To be honest he really should be used to it by now as the recent press nights were the third in the space of a year for The Taming Of The Shrew and the fourth for its lesser known sequel The Tamer Tamed.
		For Britton and the rest of the company, the schedule for their performances over the last year has been a gruelling one which has taken them from Stratford to Newcastle, across the Atlantic for a Christmas season at the Kennedy Centre in Washington DC before finally making it to the West End stage.

	Review of "The Tamer Tamed"
		This summer the main attraction on the Rose Footprint is a production of a shortened version of John Fletcher’s 1611 comedy The Tamer Tamed which is a sequel to Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew.
		The evening I saw The Tamer Tamed I emerged from under the tent to find Stephen James Anderson as Launce and his noble dog Tree Bear as Crabbe performing an amusing scene from The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
		From the moment they exit the church on their wedding day until the final moments of the play, Maria conducts a concentrated attack designed to “tame” Petruchio in an even harsher manner than he “tamed” Kate.

	The Woman's Prize or the Tamer Tamed
		The Woman's Prize or the Tamer Tamed exists in three versions: the first folio edition of 1647, the beautifully written Lambarde manuscript (date unknown), and the second folio edition of 1679.
		If this is so, and indeed it seems most likely, then it is reasonable to expect a date that is closer to The Shrew's composition rather than a later one.
		There is little doubt that the play is best understood as a sequel to The Taming of the Shrew.
