The merchant Baptista has two daughters, and decrees that Bianca--the younger and fairer of the two--cannot be married before her strong-willed sister, Katherina. The student Lucentio falls hard for Bianca, and convinces his friend Petruchio to woo the shrew and get her out of the way. Kate will have none of it. The battle of wits has begun.
