The Merry Wives of Windsor Theatre Break

Shakespeares well loved comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor comes to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon from 25 October 2012 to 12 January 2013 as part of the RSC Winter Season.

This side-splitting performance sees Shakespeares rotund comic knight Sir John Falstaff in a tale of greed and seduction, as the short on cash Sir John tries to charm his fortune from the married wives of Windsor, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page. The drama that ensues after both women receive identical letters from Falstaff is guaranteed to leave you chuckling as he finds himself in somewhat of a tangle…

This heart-warming play from the iconic Shakespeare has all the ingredients for an enjoyable performance this winter, with a heady dose of jealousy and revenge, sexual innuendo and comic irony.

This new production directed by Phillip Breen stars Desmond Barrit as Sir John Falstaff, who returns to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre following his Olivier Award nominated performance in 2001 for the RSC production of Henry IV Parts I & II.

The Merry Wives of Windsor Theatre Breaks always includes tickets with hotel accommodation, and the number of tickets you request must be the same as the number of hotel guests.
