The Merry Wives of Windsor
Theatre Calgary will hold a live performance presenting a Shakespeare play, "The Merry Wives of Windsor" directed and adapted by Jane MacFarlane at the park outside our community centre.
Hilarity ensues in this romantic farce about the misadventures of Falstaff as he seeks to deceive the wives of two wealthy merchants. Learning of his deception, the wives seek revenge with the help of their husbands. Will they get the upper hand on Falstaff or will his plan to trick them out of their riches succeed? One of Shakespeare’s wittiest comedies, The Merry Wives of Windsor has a contemporary perspective of small-town life in early England.
Bring your own blanket or lawn chairs, and come enjoy the play!
There will be no admission fees for this event, but the actors will be accepting donations to help support Theatre Calgary’s emerging artist program.
