To Have and To Hold

Kate is never getting married.

Besides, marriage is an instrument of the patriarchy.

Her sister and best friend Bianca has always been the center of Kate’s world. But when Bianca gets engaged, Kate’s certainty begins to crumble. As their lifelong bond is tested and an unexpected romance enters the picture, Kate must decide whether she’s willing to let go of the beliefs that have always defined her.

Both hilarious and deeply human, To Have and To Hold asks whether the stories we tell ourselves stand a chance against the ones we’ve inherited. Through the lens of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, the play explores sisterhood, identity, grief, and the complicated process of growing into yourself.
