Merry
Wives of Windsor
Mouth to Mouth Theatre's Summer Tour
brings Shakespeare's comic masterpiece to the garden of Red
House Farm.
Sir John Falstaff's plans to restore his fortunes by seducing
Alice Ford, wife of one of Windsor's wealthy citizens, go
awry when he sends her a love letter and, another, identical,
letter to Meg Page, her friend. Both women agree to trick
Sir John. With three hopeful suitors, who will marry Anne
Page, the daughter of a wealthy local family? Busybody Mistress
Quickly, is engaged as the lovers' go between, as well as
between Alice Ford and Sir John. Jealous husbands chase wives,
jealous lovers chase each other and duel. Windsor society
is rocked with scandal but with the merry wives fully in control,
the lecherous Sir John gets his just rewards and Anne Page
finds her true love.
No seating provided so bring a rug or folding chair, a picnic,
plenty to drink and indulge yourselves. Ample parking available.
Thank you to Mr and Mrs Gibbons for permission to use their
lovely garden.
Tickets £8 (students £6)
