10 Things I Hate About You
10 Things That I Hate about You is a rewrite of William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”. It begins with Cameron, a new student at Padua High. He sits in the office of the eccentric guidance counselor, Ms. Perky. Michael shows him around the school, which will be his best friend. Cameron meets Bianca Stratford during his school tour. She is a gorgeous sophomore, but she can’t date. Katarina, her older sister and “shrew”, is not allowed to date. Katarina loves feminist prose, indie rock, and conformity. Kat and Bianca have a different house rule. Bianca is now allowed to date… provided Kat also has a date. Cameron must find someone to date Kat in order to be able to date Bianca. So Michael helps him enlist the help of pretty-boy/jerk/model Joey Donner, tricking him into thinking that *he* will get to take Bianca out if he pays someone to take out Kat. He chose Patrick Verona. A bad boy with a strange reputation. Some say that Verona ate live ducks once and others claim that he set a state trooper ablaze. Others also believe that Verona had an illicit porn career. Can Patrick win Kat? Cameron will win Bianca’s heart? Will everything go according to plan …?? –Erica Baffa
