Kiss me Kate

Daniel is currently performing the role of Paul in Cole Porter’s hit musical, Kiss Me Kate at Staatstheater Darmstadt. The production, based on Shakespeare’s, The Taming of the Shrew, is directed by Erik Peterson and with stunning choreography by Sabine Arthold. Petersen’s direction, along with a breathtaking, rotating scenic design, offer a rare look at all aspects of the stage performance and help to ingeniously tell the story of this “play within a play”. The show runs until the end of June, so don’t miss out!
