Island Stage Left presents “The Taming of the Shrew” by William Shakespeare throughout the San Juans in July and August.

Shakespeare’s always popular, often controversial, love story is about two social misfits who fall in love. Set in Italy in the 1950s, this show has been called “a riotous romp, as laughter abounds, disguises confuse and true love emerges.”

It will be performed at the Lopez Vineyards on July 5 and 6, at the Shaw Community Center on July 7 and at the Doe Bay Resort on July 9. All shows start at 8:15 p.m.

Dress warmly and bring a blanket; chairs will be provided. Admission is free but donations are appreciated.

It will also be performed on San Juan Island July 11-28 and Aug. 2-18. For more information, visit www.islandstageleft.org.
