The Banging of the Shrew

It’s Shakespeare at its naughtiest in this hilarious sex-positive retelling of The Taming of the Shrew!

In Madame Baptista’s famed house of ill-repute, proud Mistress Kate must dominate over Peter Pluck, else lose herself to his command, while young Luke and fair Bianca fling themselves headlong into hormone-driven romance and forbidden love. High art meets tongue-in-cheek in six outrageous episodes of comedy, sex, and foul language!

Written, directed and produced by Joseph Stephen Leonardo.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Amazing
    This is well written and even better executed. The voice actors are all great and the ambiance around the show makes you feel like you are in the brothel yourself!

    The Naughty first draft of Taming of the Shrew
    Witty dialog that would make Shakespeare blush with admiration. Wonderfully performed by a talented cast. Bravo!

    delightful
    the wordplay is really perfect and that it both smut and in iambic pentameter is really indescribably joyful.

    Amazing!!
    Came from the HLP YouTube channel and was delighted to find such a wonderful experience!
  • Jennifer Graf
    This is AWESOME!
    And yes! Awesome, like the Grand Canyon; we are talking about a play on Shakespeare, after all. It’s raunch in all the right ways, and hilarious - to boot! Great job, artistically. Genius level stuff! Found this because your wife shared via her channel, Hannah Louise Poston. She shared the podcast information her in “What’s Cheering Me UP Right Now” video, which I must say - I usually try or dupe to see if it, too, will cheer me up :-) Best of luck - can’t wait for the next episode.

  • sma991
    Hilarious
    This is absolutely hilarious, but be warned, it’s definitely NSFW. Would love this group to put out more serious on other Shakespeare plays
  • skjoldmoy
    Smut plus Shakespeare? Yes, please!
    Calling all bawdy strumpets! Hark! A most wondrous idea made manifest. Don’t be lily-liver’d. Gird your loins and subscribe!
  • Catnip Toy
    I like my Shakespeare with a bit of spice!
    Sex + humor. A favorite combination! I enjoy listening to this first episode. It made me laugh the entire episode. All the characters are very memorable. The voices of each character are distinctive and their personalities are larger than life. I do love the art work. Reminds a bit of Disney. I hope down the line there will be some merch. Looking forward to the next episode!!!!

    This sounds SO fun! Two of my favorite things in one podcast. I like that it’s an update of the Shrew, hopefully the titular character can redeem the original Kate
