The Taming of the Shrew at Novello Theatre

Thinking of popping the question?

Imagine sipping on a glass of champagne with your loved one in an opulent suite before getting down on bended knee.

This thought could become a reality for guests who choose to stay at the luxury London hotel the Milestone and opt for the A Truly, Madly, Deeply Romantic Proposal package.

After the proposal, visitors can enjoy one of Shakespeare's most controversial plays, The Taming Of The Shrew, which is running at the Novello Theatre between January 15th and February 7th.

Bianca is a pretty girl and there is no shortage of men ready to take her fair hand in marriage.

However, her suitors are thwarted by her father, who insists the beautiful young lady remains out of bounds until her elder sister Katharina has found a man to commit to.

For Bianca's admirers, this is a huge inconvenience but they plan to find a mercenary to take the unattractive sister as a wife.

Enter Petruchio, who marries her and proceeds to emotionally abuse her in a bid to break her down.

Love and deceit compete in this play which is sure to have attendees hooked for the whole three hours and 20 minutes.

After the show, newly-engaged couples can look forward to the rest of the perks offered by the hotel, including dinner, a souvenir photo and a romantic turndown, including rose petals and candles.
