THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR
by William Shakespeare
Sunday 21 to Saturday 27 July 2013
Fountain Gardens, York House
Written at Queen Elizabeth I’s command, this perennially enjoyable and rollicking farce offers laughs galore. Sir John Falstaff – Shakespeare’s most-loved comic character – has a cunning plan to get both money and women. But a frantically jealous husband, two feisty wives, idiotically funny foreigners, and the famous laundry-basket scene see him get his come-uppance instead.
