The Taming of the Shrew: Video Introduction

Thank you to Robin Hizme for offering a video introduction for The Taming of the Shrew.

Robin Hizme teaches English and Humanities at Queens College, CUNY, where she also directs the collaboration between Queens College and Townsend Harris High School. When stressed, she recites Shakespearean insults to an imaginary audience; when serene, she composes poetry with her magnetic Shakespeare’s Love Kit.

Many thanks to my friend Joey Bianco of Whim Wham for the animated video elements.
