One of the best loved of Shakespeare's comedies, THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR also contains the highest proportion of prose of any of his plays.

Sir John Falstaff imagines that Mistress Ford and Mistress Page are both taken with him, and so, attracted as much by their husbands' money as their personal charms, he decides to woo them both. But the women are up to the old lecher's tricks and turn the tables on him with a series of humiliating assignations, midnight terrors and a very damp, smelly laundry basket.

While all this goes on there is the matter of Page's daughter to be dealt with. Her three suitors (Doctor Caius, Slender and young Fenton) try to win the approval of her parents, but the true love of Anne Page ends up the victor in hilarious circumstances.

Gutsy, colloquial and bustling with vivid characters, THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR is a brilliantly constructed farce that gave birth to a tradition that reaches down to the modern TV sitcom.

All tickets are $10.00. All seats are reserved.
