This Shakespeare play is ahead of its time because it is about feminism and emancipation. Catarina, played by Sarah Biasini is rebellious, she does not accept that a husband is chosen for her in her place, and she will therefore let it be known loud and clear.
For the staging, Frédérique Lazarini chose to place the action in a square in a small Italian village in the 1950s, to draw a parallel with the cinema of those years, and with charismatic actresses like Monica Viti or Sofia Loren who embodied women with a strong character.
