Philippe SOUPAULT (1897-1990). L.A.S., Paris January 13, 1956, to Pierre Brasseur; 1page in-4. Sends Brasseur an adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew that he has done for radio and which may interest the actor. He takes the opportunity to explain that the title is mistranslated. Catharina is not a shrew, "an old woman and a pain in the ass", but "a ravishing very young girl"; and "Thaming" doesn't mean to tame, but to tame. His adaptation is therefore entitled: "Comment on dresse une garce. A bitch can be pretty, fuckable, exciting, not a shrew"...
