Here is the complete and final score of The Taming of the Shrew, which saw 8 sold out performances across Britain, and was a stunning success at The Globe where we made Pakistan proud by being the ONLY country to NOT have a National Theatre Company and yet still put on such a brilliant performance, one which saw us garner rave reviews across the UK media.
The sequence of the music runs as it does according to the play’s twists and turns and we urge you to listen to the entire score in one go so you can truly appreciate the beauty and depth of the music.
We loved performing and playing the music and want to thank all of you along with our amazing actors and the people who made this play possible. Thank you all for your tremendous support!

Audience sings to The Stooges’ tunes
LAHORE: True Brew Records hosted a musical evening featuring The Stooges Brass Band from the US, at the True Brew Studio on Sunday.
After a very successful performance in Alhamra on Saturday, music lovers rushed to the True Brew Studio to watch the band perform.
The US Mission in Pakistan brought the band from New Orleans, Louisiana, to play at events and participate in musical exchange programmes in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.
The Stooges’ visit to Pakistan is aimed at strengthening cultural ties and increasing awareness of different American musical genres while also exposing Americans to the wide range of Pakistani musical traditions. Talking to Daily Times, the band members said that they were extremely excited to be in Pakistan and having the opportunity to share their music and learn more about Pakistan and its people firsthand.
The Stooges Brass Band has toured Asia, Europe, and South America. In October 2010, they won the title of ‘Red Bull Street Kings’ and were featured in a recent film on the Documentary Channel about the Red Bull Street Kings competition in New Orleans. Established in 2010, the True Brew Studio started off as a small recording house, however, two years into the business now, the place has been transformed into a proper studio with music and sound equipment, and serves as a venue for routine live performances by many various local and international talents.
Here’s a radio interview of the band on CityFM89
