The Maggie Siff Online Gallery is updated with the photos from FX Upfronts last month.

For this go-round, Petruchio (Andy Grotelueschen) comes to now-Westernized Padua looking to “wive it weathily” and fixes his intentions on Katharina Minola (Maggie Siff), whose reputation for being a bundle of ignited dynamite precedes her and whose disinclination to marry means much-pursued younger and sweeter sister Bianca (Kathryn Saffell) has to wait her turn for who-knows-how-long. While various shenanigans are set in motion by secondary figures, Petruchio goes about putting things right.

Last seen playing both hero and villain in the Fiasco company’s Cymbeline, the superb Grotelueschen is much more effective here and gives evidence he’s a homegrown Shakespearean with a big future. A decidedly substantial-looking fellow — bearded with a bald spot in his hair that blows about like tumbleweed — Grotelueschen takes command by dint of his complete affability. He speaks the poetry so naturally, it seems as if he’s expressed himself this way from birth.

Giving this Petruchio almost as good–or as bad–as she gets, Siff has the kind of piercing eyes that make men cower at the sight of her. Equally importantly, she’s convincing as a woman who saves time by throwing the hems of her clothes over her shoulder and climbing ladders to get where she wants to be.

Theatre for a New Audience has announced casting for its upcoming production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, to run March 18-April 21 at The Duke on 42nd Street. Arin Arbus will direct.
In Shakespeare’s play, when forced to marry a brash young gold-digger so that her sweeter, younger sister may marry for love, the temperamental Katherine proves to be more than Petruchio bargained for.
The cast will star Maggie Siff, known for her work on Sons of Anarchy and Mad Men, as Kate as well as Andy Grotelueschen as Petruchio. Also in the cast are Varín Ayala (Biondello) Denis Butkus (Lucentio), Paul L. Coffey (lord), Matthew Cowles (Christopher Sly), Olwen Fouéré (hostess and the widow), John Christopher Jones (Gremio), John Keating (Tranio), Robert Langdon Lloyd (Baptista), Peter Maloney (Vincentio), Jonathan Mastro (pianist), Saxon Palmer (Hortensio), John Pankow (Grumio), and Kathryn Saffell (Bianca).
The design team will include Donyale Werle (set design), Marcus Doshi (lighting design), Anita Yavich (costume design), Michael Friedman (original music), and Doug Elkins (choreography).
