For our third instalment in the Books to Screen series, author/musician Sophie Crawford joins us to discuss a very unique adaptation, Shakespeare's The Taming of The Shrew to Ten Things I Hate About You (1999). In this episode Hannah and Sophie discuss how it's unbelievable that the play is considered a comedy, the sexism and misogyny in the play and the film, the romcom magic the film has, the various castings plus much more!
