SANDWICH — Advice To The Players’ 20th season got off to an inauspicious start with a middling production of William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew,” which opened March 15 at the Sandwich Town Hall, with two remaining performances March 23 and 24 in Sandwich, and an additional performance at Jean’s Playhouse in Lincoln on March 25.

“Taming of the Shrew” is a comedy about the two daughters of the lord Baptista (William Johnson). The sweet Bianca (Rebecca Mansfield) is beset by many suitors, including Lucentio (Luke Haskell), Hortensio (Frederick Bickford) and Gremio (Dennis Sullivan). Her older sister Katherine (Kimberley Miller) is independent and brash and no man wants to woo her.
