George Ransley from Propeller Theatre
Company in conversation with Margaret Rustin, Child, Adolescent &
Adult Psychotherapist
Many interpretations have been offered, and The Taming of the
Shrew continues to raise uncomfortable questions for audiences to this day. In the wake of high profile
cases of domestic violence and growing concern about the role of the internet and social media in the
representation and commodification of women,
Propeller, an all‐male theatre company, offer an uncompromising take on the play’s
themes.
Margaret Rustin is a Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychotherapist and was Head
of Child
Psychotherapy at the Tavistock Clinic from 1985 to 2007. She has
written extensively on
the contribution of psychoanalysis to the appreciation of
literature, and with Michael
Rustin has co‐authored Mirror to Nature: Drama, Psychoanalysis
and Society. She is an
Associate of the British Psychoanalytical Society.
George Ransley is the Assistant Director of Propeller, an all‐male Shakespeare
company
that seeks to find a more engaging way of expressing Shakespeare
and to explore the
relationship between text and performance. Mixing a rigorous
approach to the text with
a modern physical aesthetic, they have been influenced by mask
work, animation, and
classic and
modern film and music from all ages.
