The space has since been rebuilt as a theatre—with lighting, dressing rooms, a space for the audience, and a set based on the oft-overlooked induction to “The Taming of the Shrew.” The play itself deals with the unrealizable love of Lucentio for Bianca and Petruchio’s attempts to tame the obstinate object of his affection, Katherine, the titular “shrew.” The induction, though...
