Lenox, MA
The Merry Wives of Windsor
It’s been ten years since Falstaff romped across our stage. We’re delighted to welcome him and the mischievous Mistresses Ford, Page and Quickly back for a season of rowdiness, bawdiness and belly laughter.
Hard up for cash, unscrupulous Falstaff hatches a cockamamie plan that can’t possibly backfire—to cuckold Windsor’s wealthy husbands and get his mitts on their money. But when the ladies turn the tables on him, his silver tongue and grand girth get caught in web of slapstick payback. This is the screwball comedy that remains the mother of them all. It’s Shakespeare at his wittiest, dishing up eccentricities, cross-dressing and racy malapropisms in the human comedy we call life. Admission. 3PM, 8PM

This 2002 Tony® Award Winner is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution. Everything a musical should be.
