Legend has it that Queen Elizabeth I so loved the character of Falstaff, the fat bawdy knight, that she asked
Shakespeare to write a play in which he falls hopelessly in love. Shakespeare, being Her Majesty’s loyal subject, duly obliged – but being Shakespeare he wasn’t content to do things by halves. He wrote a play in which Falstaff falls in love not once, but TWICE – at the same time, with two women who are actually best friends.

The result is THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR. Multiple international awardwinning Illyria return to their
home turf – Shakespeare at his most boisterous and farcical. The company has a deservedly unparalleled reputation for the clarity and authenticity of their Elizabethan comic style. Bring an extra pair of socks – you’ll
laugh the first pair off.
