It is important to clarify that there is no reliable historical record confirming the first performance of William Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew” on June 24, 1580. The exact date of the play’s first performance remains unknown. The play is believed to have been written in the early 1590s, with its first recorded performance likely taking place sometime after its creation, but no specific details of the debut performance are documented within reputable historical sources. Therefore, I am unable to provide a factual account of this event on June 24, 1580.
