He looks like whatever actor is playing him. Plays can be performed by any group of actors, and any actor could play Petruchio. If you want to play him, he'll look like you.

What are the figures of speech in Taming of the Shrew?
In the Taming of the Shrew, Mr. Minola has two daughters: Bianca who everyone wants to marry because she seems so nice and well-behaved, and Katherine, who is bad-tempered and wilful, and who nobody wants to come within a mile of. Mr. Minola says that nobody can marry Bianca until Katharine is married. One of the guys interested in Bianca, Hortensio, gets his pal Petruchio to apply for the job of Kate's husband. Petruchio says he doesn't care about her disposition, he is only interested in the money. Meanwhile Lucentio, another guy interested in Bianca, disguises himself as a tutor in order to get near her while his servant pretends to be him in order to square the deal with Minola. Hortensio also disguises himself as a tutor to Bianca. Petruchio studiously ignores Kate's bad temper, and since he seems like a good match, Minola allows him to court Kate. Things get pretty rough but Petruchio keeps his cool, says he finds her delightful and that they would like to get married next week, thank you. The wedding is a wild affair. Petruchio comes in an insane costume, swears at the priest, and does not even let Katherine stay for the reception. She goes fighting all the way. They get back to Petruchio's place and he won't let her eat because he says the food is too badly cooked, won't let her sleep because he says the bed is bad, and won't let her have any new clothes because they don't look good. This he calls "killing a wife with kindness" although of course he doesn't mean to kill her. By now Kate is so hungry and sleepy that she'll take anything. She learns that if she goes along with whatever Petruchio says, she is more likely to get what she wants, even if it means calling the sun the moon or an old man a young maiden. In other words, what she used to get with bullying she can now get with guile. Lucentio has succeeded in his project to marry Bianca, and Petruchio and Katherine are of course invited to the wedding. At the wedding feast, Katherine proves that she is a more obedient wife than her sister and also Hortensio's new wife. She seals it with a speech in praise of wifely obedience. (But does she mean it?) The surface idea of the ideal wife being totally obedient to her husband is one which causes many people grief these days. Some consider Petruchio's conduct to be abusive and appalling. Some productions which emphasize this can be very dark. On the other hand, the possibility that Kate learns how to pretend, so her last speech is tongue in cheek, adds a suggestion that Kate (or any other "obedient wives") is not really subservient at all, just good at pretending.

Why is the taming of the shrew a classic?
The Taming of the Shrew is one of very few plays in English which deals with the War of the Sexes honestly. If you consider other gender comedies - The Pyjama Game, or even There's Something about Mary - the men and women might pretend that they are not getting on together, but at the end of the day it turns out that everybody loves and respects everybody else really. If you look around you, you will notice that girls can be pretty sick with men, and men can be utterly nasty to girls. The Taming of the Shrew shows sexual competition for what it is, vicious and potentially dangerous ... and very very silly.

What does Shakespeare have to do with you?
I have performed in Comedy of Errors, Romeo & Juliet (twice), Hamlet, and Taming of the Shrew. I have read most of his plays and many of his poems. I have seen many of his plays, some more than once, and I look forward to directing many of his plays in the future.
Does anyone have any costume ideas for Bianca in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew?
I saw a film version of The Taming of the Shrew where all the costumes were a mix of red-orange, white, and khaki. Bianca wore a white dress with a pale sash. Katherine wore a white dress with a red satin corset. (This would be the American Conservatory Theatre's production in 1976) I saw a stage version set in the 1970s where Kate was a punk rocker and Bianca was the girl next door. Basically, you want Bianca to be dressed conventionally, in contrast to Kate's more idiosyncratic look. This will underline their characters.

What is a small mouse like animal found in my swimming pool.?
It could be a mole. Moles have a very short tail and are smaller than a mouse. It could be a shrew. They look like a mole but are smaller than a mole. A Gopher?
Where can you get a pygmy shrew?
Shrews are common in many parts of the world, especially in temperate climates. They are small and can be hard to see. It's easy to mistake a shrew for a mouse if you don't get a good look at it.
Can any swimsuit help flatten my tummy?
Yes, as long as you are willing to wear a one piece. Look for something with a lot of stretch and spandex in it. It will work a lot like a tummy taming pair of nylons by sucking you all in and providing a nice, clean, sharp shape.
