Now I know where the title for the musical "Kiss Me, Kate" comes from! I vaguely remember Elizabeth Taylor screaming in the movie version that came out when I was eight years old. (I wish my library had it. I really want to see it now.)

This is a very sexist play, but it is all in fun. The characters are sort of confusing, and it made it really confusing when librivox had women being men AGAIN! UGH! But I found it in my library with the Arkangel audio series, and I may just listen to it again.

Fun!
