"O powerful Love, that in some respects makes a beast a man, in some other a man a beast."
Sir John Falstaff vastly underestimates the Merry Wives in the town of Windsor as he hatches a frothy scheme to drain their bank accounts and drive their husbands insane with jealousy. Antics ensue as Falstaff (a favorite character of Queen Elizabeth herself!) overestimates his own ability to dupe good people and pull off his scheme of deceit. With The Merry Wives of Windsor, a riotous comedy perfectly suited to our garden theatre setting, Shakespeare proves that the best human foibles are the ones we can laugh at.
Performed outdoors in our intimate Roman Garden Theatre with comfortable seating. All shows start at 5:00 PM.
Generously sponsored by The Dr. Gerald and Roberta Friedman Foundation.
