Summer Shakespeare: The Merry Wives of Windsor
The Merry Wives of Windsor is an uproarious tale of mischief and double-dealing where women get the last laugh! When the ever-scheming Sir John Falstaff tries to cure his money troubles by seducing the wives of two wealthy merchants, he doesn’t count on Mistress Page and Mistress Ford comparing notes – and plotting their hilarious revenge. Packed with disguises, surprises, and plenty of dunkings, this Shakespearean comedy celebrates marriage, playful revenge, and the everlasting friendship between two brilliant women who refuse to be fooled.
