Merry Wives of Windsor at the Globe

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre

Book until: Oct 2, 2010

Schedule varies. Please see booking calendar or call for details.

***** 'Christopher Luscombe's production brims with humanity, ingenuity and irresistible charm ... not just theatre but the capital at its very best.' Sunday Telegraph

'A wonderfully warming comedy, stuffed to bursting with belly laughs.' The Times

'The feel-good hit of the summer.' Daily Telegraph

Imagining that Mistress Ford and Mistress Page have each fallen for him, the fat knight Sir John Falstaff decides to seduce them both, as much for their husbands' money as for their personal charms in THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR. Wise to the old rogue's tricks, the women turn the tables on him with a series of humiliating assignations and a very damp, extremely smelly laundry basket.

A revival of the 2008 hit and featuring many characters from Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, Shakespeare's brilliantly constructed farce, which gave birth to a tradition that reaches down to the modern TV sitcom, returns to the Globe after delighting audiences in 2008.
