Infos

The character of Sir John Falstaff - the corpulent, drunken braggart/clown - proved to be so popular that William Shakespeare brought him back for a stand-alone comedy and the result is "e;The Merry Wives of Windsor,"e; a light-hearted romp that finds Sir John chasing not one, but TWO married women with their husbands in hot pursuit. At the outset of the play, Falstaff finds himself in debt (as usual) and decides to solve his money problems by pursuing the wives of two wealthy merchants, Masters Ford and Page. But when the wives find that they have received identical letters from their would-be suitor, they decide to teach Falstaff a lesson and instead of pitching woo, Falstaff soon finds himself pitched into an icy river (and worse). One of Shakespeare's most beloved and oft-performed comedies, "e;The Merry Wives of Windsor"e; is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
