Bard in the Ballroom 

The Charming of the Shrew
March 31st - April 9th, 2016


Launch Pad turns the bard on his head ... and it's about time. Fantastic foley,

great mashup with modern-day colloquialisms, and great fun.

The action moves swiftly yet the story retains all its impact, humour and satire thanks to insightful

direction by Radford, Patterson and co-director Graham McDonald.  Altogether this Charming of the

Shrew is a thoroughly pleasant way to while away an hour or two, surrounded by luxury and vestiges

of a bygone time.

A Fresh Take on a Classic Play with a Kingdom for a Stage!


adapted from William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.

Re-imagined and refined, adapted and updated, to a witty and wonderful hour-and-a-half of enjoyment.


Following a sold out run of our Halloween production, Arkenham Abbey, Launch Pad Theatre Co. invites you

to bring in the spring with a feverish, fast paced farce.

Come in your snazziest cocktail attire to enjoy an evening of classy entertainment, a complimentary glass of

bubbly, and a beautiful re-imagining of one of the Bard’s most well-loved comedies.

Elegantly cut to an hour

Tastefully fitted to the castle

Perfectly tailored for you.
