The Merry Wives of Windsor

Falstaff gets him come-uppance (three times) in this rather confused but at times immensely funny Shakespeare comedy – his only one about the middle classes. The story, almost certainly false, goes that Queen Elizabeth I so enjoyed the character of Falstaff that she asked to see him again in another play – in love. Shakespeare is supposed to have obliged with this delightful romp.

Five actors, with all manner of musical instruments, present an inventive take on Shakespeare’s raucous comedy The Merry Wives Of Windsor. In this mischievous play, jealousy, disguise and seduction lead to hilarious and unexpected results.
