I adore this. I love how they're both trying to physically and verbally outdo each other. It becomes more a fight between equals rather than Petruchio not taking no for an answer and constantly harassing her until Kate gives in. I also like how Kate is a little attracted to his advances here and smiles whenever he makes a jab at her before resorting to a good punch in the face. After the mistreatment that Petruchio heaped on Kate for generations, he finally gets a bit of payback. 😂
The mediaeval language and references (that heraldry joke!) and the sixties setting somehow don't clash. It works so perfectly. I came here for Stuff You Like, but if you want to throw in more of this kind of thing now and again I'll be very happy (it's stuff I like).
Thank you very much! (It's stuff I like as well, naturally) And I was also quite surprised by how well the setting worked with the text. (And it was such a good time to film too!)
This was lovely! The Taming of the Shrew is one of my favorites, but so often Kate is buffaloed by Petruchio. I like it when he ACTUALLY woos her in this unorthodox approach!
This is the best interpretation of the Taming of the Shrew I’ve ever seen. This story always makes me a little squeamish but you made it much more entertaining and cute!
I love this, and I wish it was a full film. These two were hilarious together, and the back and forth is awesome to see. You kinda get the impression he expected the willing to be easy, but now they've got this interesting back and forth going, and he seems to really like it. She gives as good as she gets. And I think he likes that She's not nearly as immune to his advances. She plays it off to be. But I think she likes the fact that he's not immediately giving up.
The text of Taming of the Shrew is so problematic. Thanks for making this scene so much fun! Cole Porter would be proud of this. I seriously stand by what I said. This is basically Kiss Me Kate!
This was fun. Makes me want to see that entire thing. (I know that's not something to be expecting, but bits of this scene as a trailer would sell me on watching an Indy production...)
My HS flame and I were supposed to do this for the Shakespeare Festival at Chapman College (think it was in 2002), we ended up not being able to do it, but all our friends thought it was fitting to our relationship. Particularly the barbs leading up to, "My tongue in your tail." perfectly illustrated us when we would bicker.
I adore this play but have seen it done so many different ways , I think I only really enjoy the BBC retold and John Cleese version because usualy they both get played as one note, or there is too much slapstick in their initial meeting or the subtle witty elements get lost....but you both nailed it. None of the dialogue got lost, there was chemistry and I actually liked Petruchio and Kate had more going here than just "angry." It surpised me with even some softer moments. Excellent , would def go and see.
The music is unnecessary. That said, I really like your take on Katherine. It’s amazing how a change in characterization can completely flip what could’ve been a cringe scene. I like how the two of them are just messing with each other and low-key testing each others’ backbone.
Hopefully! This was a fan funded project, and I hope there will be many more (my previous video has a slightly shorter version of the scene and a making-of and was entirely the result of hitting a Patreon goal) ua-cam.com/video/DctsysVpLKY/v-deo.html
Ooh, nice to see your acting chops; adding some stage to go along with the stage fighting. Tip to viewers: consider turning on captions. There are a few typos, but it helped me to appreciate the words and phrases that are lesser-used today.
@@JillBearup true but depending on which version of the play you watch I have watched a few they are played as though petruchio is always in control and framing Kate as just stubborn though I really don't like the play myself
This is all kinds of fun. I've long thought that Kate should be allowed to bring the violence, particularly at the end so we know that she's O.K. All of the sudden, I'm wondering if her original actor was a large, heavyset guy. Nah! That would have called for a much more obvious crack about her weight. I like that moment when she's just starting to like him. In the whole play, it wouldn't fit, but if we're having just this scene, it's good.
Was this all shot with one camera as opposed to multiple cameras? I ask because the continuity between cuts is impeccable regarding actors positioning - both with your facial expressions and body positions - arms etc. This is typically easy to mess up with one camera ( Such as in Star Wars episode 4 where Luke's blue milk magically changes hands haha - The type of thing that this video avoids with precision.) I'm also curious with regards to continuity, was there any ADR with the Dialog? As the continuity between cuts with the dialog is flawless. Again, Mrs Bearup, you have created a true masterpiece. You have proven yourself to be a film producer extraordinaire.
😂 The sound was recorded separately (though obviously then synced with the camera’s onboard mic) and yes, just one camera, and a fair bit of blocking. Luckily stage combat tends to make you quite specific about where you have to be, and the geography of the room meant it was relatively easy to hit marks.
Once again, very well done. You poured your heart and soul and a great deal of passion into this, and it shows. I do hope you are putting this into your acting showreel (maybe the famous 'nod' from Nerdquest). It won't be long before we are calling you 'Dame Jill Bearup'. Keep up the great work!
I see you've done videos on Much ado about nothing, Midsumer nights dream, and a few about Taming of the shrew (10 things I hate about you). Is there or have you made a modern retelling of Merchant of Venice video?
I've only ever seen one version of TTOTS and that is the movie with Elisabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. When I first saw it I was just blown away by the dynamics on the screen between these two great actors. Subsequent viewings left me cringing. This is so much more playful/flirty. I still recommend the movie for those that have not seen it. It was a different time 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah, but that film was an absolute TRAVESTY of the text. I love Taming, and I would always recommend the BBC version with the astonishingly spot-on John Cleese as Petruchio. The only version that didn't make me grit my teeth throughout and was properly appreciative of the inherent BRITISHNESS of this comedy.
I saw this play a few years ago, and something struck me. It is supposed to be transgressive- but with class, not gender. There are scenes where upper and lower class characters swap places. I think that this is supposed to be shocking with the comedy there to take the edge off it.
Very good acting by both of you. I thought the presentation was extremely well crafted. To play the devil's advocate, I felt by not really responding to the physical violence, he was somewhat emasculated, but in today's culture that seems to be the way many think the play should be done. The recent revival of Kiss Me Kate on Broadway was so revised to favor the female lead, the 1948 supposedly sexist version was probably more balanced in reflecting the battle of the sexes. At least you didn't reverse the gender roles.

Thank you 💕
I felt like it was more entertaining if she quite fancies him but wants to bruise his ego for fun, than if she just plain hates his guts 😁

I get the feeling that she's had a lot of people fawning all over her. This guy's interesting. And takes a hit. :)

Remember reading this in literature class in high school, thanks for the memories.
Well this is different. I dig.
Thanks!
I dig as well

Oh! This was marvelous! More. All of it!
When we shot it I said to the director “I want it to look like part of a movie you now really want to see all of”. So...win?
@@JillBearup : oh for sure! top drawer!
You can see how we made it on the previous video, if you’re interested: ua-cam.com/video/DctsysVpLKY/v-deo.html

"My tongue in your tail" didn't know that line was in the play lol
They don't call him "The Bawd" for nothing lol

I believe this is my favorite episode yet
I will take that compliment 😊
Jill Bearup I mean, I love all your videos. But this had me laughing. So. Hard.
Jill Bearup oh my word! I SUCK AT COMPLIMENTS!
Not at all, I am very complimented 😊
This was fun. Makes me want to see that entire thing. (I know that's not something to be expecting, but bits of this scene as a trailer would sell me on watching an Indy production...)
I want to see your version of the whole play. You added a nice level of flirtation and I would like to see the rest of the play.
This is so much fun to watch!
Thanks Gene 😊
I watched Flirting with Violence a while back and somehow missed this production. Bravo!
i really like this scene. i was originally supposed to watch it for my theater class but this is really funny so i just watch it when i am bored now

Oh my goodness this is so gooood!!
May have reawakened my love for this play, gosh
Well that was great. Are we going to get more of this sort of thing?

bruh I'd love to see more of this
Very well done xxx
As someone who just played Kate in a performance, this video is great!
Please do more Shakespeare. How about the balcony scene?
Ooh, nice to see your acting chops; adding some stage to go along with the stage fighting.

the guy in this reminds me of a young Alexis Denisof
Just like the movie taming of the shrew I enjoy to watch this
Yes
I wish this was in the play
To be fair...it kind of is. 😁
@@JillBearup true but depending on which version of the play you watch I have watched a few they are played as though petruchio is always in control and framing Kate as just stubborn though I really don't like the play myself
@@bevanurielpetersen6255Very true. There are many different ways to play it. I just liked this one best!
And to be fair, we did cut quite a lot of the dodgy stuff out. :)
More importantly...did you watch the Black Widow trailer?
I did! And I’m really looking forward to the movie.
Crap now I want a full production, or at least a few of the other scenes with Kate and Petruchio.
I have no idea what the fuck they're saying but I'm intrigued

ADR - Automated Dialog Replacement, not ADR - Alternative Dispute Resolution, though it is clear this couple may need that in the future. Hah hah.

Dude, it’s a play. This is all fantasy violence, totally scripted, practiced and planned beforehand. Chill.
@@TheITinFIT Pretty sure he's joking
Pretty sure he's joking too, but he is correct. However, Jill cleverly set this in the 1960's, so 'All is fair in love and war', right?
