stage-struck horse is needed for the forthcoming production of The Taming Of The Shrew due to be staged at Dyffryn Gardens this summer Director Mike Cunningham wants the horse for a five-minute walk-on part to transport antagonist Petruchio to his marriage scene during the production Mr Cunningham said the production calls for an old horse but its temperament is as important as its looks and it should not be frightened of crowds or bright lights we ask is that a local farmer or horse enthusiast can provide us with a suitable horse for the duration of the day from Monday July 28 to Saturday August He added that every effort would be made to stable the horse near Dyffryn Gardens during the production and the animal would be well looked after This play will be the fourth Shakespeare play staged at Dyffryn Gardens in successive years by the Everyman Theatre Company The plays are produced out of doors although this year there will be a canopy to shelter the audience from the weather The productions attract thousands of visitors each year and is one of the few opportunities to see Shakespeare being produced in the open air in Wales And for the first time ever theatregoers will be able to eijoy a complete package offering them tickets for the play a four-course dinner and an overnight stay In the new conference facilities at Dyffryn House said I would
