You all know I saw this three times at the Barbican this summer, so it’s my duty to report that they recorded the revival of Kiss Me, Kate and it’s coming to cinemas from today (17th November) and I am in fact going to see it, in my local indie today because a) I loved it and b) I want to see how it comes across on screen. It’s one of those event-cinema releases, so the dates may vary (the cinema where I’m seeing it is only showing it twice a couple of days apart at the moment) and you may need to look at either an indie or a larger multiplex cinema, but hopefully if you want to see it you’ll be able to find it.
Not a Book: Kiss Me Kate in Cinemas
Verity Reads Books (lots of them) 
You should also see the original Hollywood musical version, Verity. It is a lot of fun with a brilliant cast and outstanding performances:

I watched it years ago and keep hoping it will come around on TV again soon – maybe this Christmas?
Amazon UK, and eBay both have cheap DVD copies of the Howard Keel, Kathryn Grayson Hollywood movie of “Kiss Me Kate”.
Cole Porter, as you know, thought it was easy for TWO people to write a musical (one for the words, the other for the music), so he decided to write words and music all by himself, with a little help from Shakespeare.
