Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew was presented by the New York Shakespeare Festival/Public Theater at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park from August 10th through September 5th, 1999, together with Molière’s Tartuffe.
From Playbill:
Tartuffe concerns a venal and libidinous religious hypocrite who holds a household under his thrall until being exposed for what he is. When first presented in 1664 France, the sharp satire created such a furor that the pious of Paris suppressed the play. It was not performed for another three years, and then in an altered version.
