Cast

Production

The ABC announced it in January 1973.[5] It was one of several stage productions recreated by the ABC for television including Hamlet.

Reception

The Age wrote "why Taming had to be cheekily rewritten and rendered down into ill-tasting Strinespeare escaped this critic's understanding."[6]
