The Taming of the Shrew

After her spectacular monologue A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing, Duffin’s electrifying Kate confirms that she is an actor of exceptional vocal and emotional elasticity.

Duffin, who has learnt and rehearsed the role in just two weeks due to an injury to the actress originally cast, is a glory: angry, tormented, bitterly humorous. 

Her Kate is a furious, bewildered product of a world in which marriages are decided over a handshake – between men, of course.
