Heath Ledger's breakout Hollywood role is something different to what it might appear. Hark! A modern retelling of The Taming of the Shrew, wherein a shrewd and sharp-tongued maiden must be courted ere her gentle sister may pursue love's sweet embrace. A roguish young man, paid in secret coin, doth woo the fierce Katarina with unexpected sincerity, and love blooms where trickery first planted its seed. Yet when deception is laid bare, hearts are rent asunder — until repentance and a most earnest sonnet restore what folly nearly destroyed.
