You really can’t perform Taming of the Shrew without someone in drag.
For anyone who don’t know the first scene involves a servant boy being dressed up as a woman and pretending to be this guy’s wife. Which he remains in. It is very funny and given that all women roles were played by men in drag that must of had the original audiences in stitches seeing the 4th wall being broken.
