Addressing the Shakespearean Elephant in the Room.

NAMING THE VIEW is a powerful new contemporary play that does just that. It takes the lead characters of Shakespeare’s The Taming Of The Shrew, places them in a modern setting and then imagines what has happened to them thirty years later.

Written by and starring Richard Curnow as Pete/Horton and also starring Jules Hobbs as Kate, NAMING THE VIEW is directed by Bryn Holding who worked closely with Richard on developing the updated storyline.

The original Shakespeare play tells the story of a man (Petruchio/Pete) making a woman (Katherine/Kate) submissive in order to make her a ‘good wife’. Its outdated themes might now be considered as celebrating coercive control and thus make it one of the most controversial of Shakespeare’s plays and difficult to put on in the modern day. This is exactly why the writer, Richard Curnow, thought it deserved an update.

NAMING THE VIEW is set after Pete and Kate have been married for thirty years. A chance encounter with an old acquaintance triggers a conversation that leads to an exploration of the effects of abusive relationships. The main message of the play is that, with support, it is possible to break the shackles of coercive control and look forward to new horizons.

NAMING THE VIEW aims to shine a light on coercive control and spark a conversation within the audience about domestic abuse. FINDING THE WILL produced this filmed version so that as many people as possible could have the chance to see it and also to create more understanding of this lesser understood form of domestic abuse.
