SettingThe fairgrounds near the local hospital where the Miller “family” must

take Kenny after he is bitten by a poisonous spider.

Character ListDavid Clark……………………………………………………………LucentioRose O’Reily……………………………………………………………BiancaKenny Rossmore………………………………………………….……TranioCasey Mathis…………………………………………………………KathrianaBrad Gurdlinger………………………………………………………BaptistaScottie P. ……………………………………………………………….Petruchio

David Clark (Major)He works for a drug dealer in a big business. He’s like Lucentio in

which he wants to almost win over Rose in the end. He is sent out to Mexico by his boss to retrieve a huge amount of

weed to bring back to the U.S. since the original guys were arrested in the process.

Dave creates a “fake family” to do all of this so it isn’t easy to catch on that a family would be smuggling drugs from Mexico.

Rose O’Reily (Major)David’s “fake wife” who is like Bianca in which they are both kind and

sweet and all the guys are after her.

She is asked to tag along and offered money to go.

At first they don’t seem to actually like each other, but throughout the movie you can tell they start to grow on each other.

Kenny Rossmore (Major)Kenny lives in Dave’s apartment complex. He relates to Petruchio in a

way because even though Casey isn’t really his girlfriend/wife he still in a way somewhat “tames” her.

He is asked to be Dave’s “fake son” in the whole plan and willingly agrees with no cost because he just wanted the adventure.

Kenny is quiet at first but eventually opens up.

Casey Mathis (Major)Casey is asked to be Dave’s “daughter”.

Casey relates to Katherine. She has the “I don’t care” attitude and seems to have that independent side to her and doesn’t want to go by the rules.

She basically lives on the streets and “borrows” things from stores and writes it down in a little book so when she gets the money she pays it back.

Brad Gurdlinger (Minor)Brad plays the role in David’s boss.

He’s closest in relation to Baptista. Brad is higher up in the movie as far as class as is Baptista.

He sends Dave out to Mexico for his job to smuggle marijuana back to the U.S for their business.
