The Merry Wives of Windsor

About the Show

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.
