Shakespeare Meets Hip Hop
Play explores
gender roles
W hen W illiam Shakespeare wrote
T am ing o f the Shrew, there w ere no
hip-hop artists around. But Portland’s
Fuse Theatre Ensem ble likes to think
if he'd encountered som e hip hop in
the streets o f London, it m ight have
changed the style o f this classic.
Slap that Bitch! A hip hop telling
o f Tam ing o f the Shrew is an original
w ork w ritten by Francesca Sanders.
The aw ard w inning playw right
fuses form s; using the lens o f hip hop
to observe the roles o f m en and women
play, m odem day morality, and maybe
finding a new w ay to look at an age-
old play. W hen C olette show s up at
his house the next day as part o f an
acting troupe, he tries to banish her.
W ill he have the last w ord on this
m atter...or w ill she?
