Marius Goring as Petruchio, Yvonne Mitchell as Katherina, Michael Warre as Christopher Sly and Donald Pleasance as Grumio in the Royal Shakespeare Company production of The Taming of the Shrew at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre, Stratford 1953 directed by George Devine.
“Marius Goring took a civilised way with Petruchio. Here was no heavyweight champion battling for a wench, but a fellow of some sensitiveness and perception … By the time that he and Katharina were on their way back to Padua and that perverse argument about sun and moon was being thrashed out, we realised that this couple had fallen deeply in love, and Petruchio’s “Kiss me, Kate!” was not so much a command as an invitation.” – TC Kemp
