Iztok Mlakar has found the inspiration for his latest text in Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, written his play in the rich, humorous dialect of the northern Primorska region and peppered it with songs, so characteristic of his style.
The old mafioso Minolo Batista, a promulgator of the traditional patriarchal life, has three daughters, beautiful, of marriageable age, but he won’t let any man come close to them. Of the three, Bianca is the one most yearning to get married, Chiara wants to get to her father’s money asap and is willing to marry anyone who’d help her to get rid of her old man, while Katarina doesn’t want any of the three to follow the fate of their late mother, who spent her married life suffering quietly and humbly next to her husband, so she is determined to stand up for women’s rights. Although everybody is scared to death of the old mafioso, young men start circulating the house, with all sorts of intentions. Will they be able to achieve what they want, or perhaps more precisely, what they were ordered to achieve?
