- Actress Samantha Spiro (Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew) is very excited about the Olympics. " I am needing to stay fit, too: The Taming of the Shrew is probably the most physical production I've been involved in ..." Read her piece at the Olympics and The Taming of the Shrew here:

The torch bearer @The_Globe today was 12yr Ify Egesi. I don't remember having that much poise when I was her age. Sigh.
