All wonderful stories, thank you for sharing them!

My favorite part would either be the girl getting ticklish neck kisses or Brian tickling another girl in different ways each time.

"When he courts her, Petruchio starts to make Katherine laugh. He tickles her feet mercilessly and we see that she is actually enjoying being with him. She loves the attention."--"CurtainUp, London" Review by Lizzie Loveridge

Thanks, gents!

I just feel sorry for Milagros, who read the story before I woke up and took out, like, ten thousand exclamation points and run-on sentences! I wrote most of it last night and when I read it this morning, I sounded as loony as a bedbug, lol. Happy you were able to make sense of it, Mils!

No problem, I just ignored the exclamation points.

Very nice photos and explanation! That is one play by Shakespeare that I wish we had done in high school.

Alexandra Gilbreath who plays Kate in that production is a stunner. She also played Juliet opposite David Tennant's Romeo. Every review of that Shrew production seems to mention the relentless foot-tickling scene, calling it fun and delectable and romantic -- it clearly made an impression on audiences.

and I NEVER discussed the subject with him, nor the actress, of whom I couldn't help but have a crush on, and who ignored me the entire time I worked on the play, lol.

This part rings painfully true. There's something about those darned actors that just makes them more attractive the further they are away from you...
