Falstaff is skint. Dismissing his band of reprobate followers is simply insufficient to shore up his finances. So he decides to seduce the wives of two merchants in Windsor in the hope of relieving them of some of their wealth. However Mistress Page and Mistress Ford are best friends who keep no secrets from one another – so when they receive identical love letters from Falstaff they are outraged, and vow to share revenge. Falstaff, led by an organ that isn’t his brain, endures humiliation, then terror, and even physical pain in his repeated amorous pursuits. Eventually the merry wives, their husbands and half of Windsor all unite to teach him a lesson he’ll never forget! Performed in the great outdoors by five phenomenal professional actors, this fast-paced production has been created using only the First Folio text – the most authoritative edition of Shakespeare’s plays. Join the sensational international-award-winning Illyria this summer for a night of laughter and hijinks under the starsRunning time: 140-minutes (approximately), including a 20-minute interval.
