The Merry Wives of Windsor - Presented by Southwest Shakespeare Company

The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare is a farce about seduction, love, jealousy, and playful deception. The lead character, Falstaff, seeks to seduce two well-off married women in pursuit of financial advantage. The women learn of his plans, and work to trick and humiliate him, putting him in a series of embarrassing situations. A love story sub-plot proves the strength of true love and adds comedy and mayhem to the play. Shakespeare’s most lighthearted and jovial show will delight and elate.
