The Merry Wives of Windsor — Melbourne Shakespeare Company

Overview

Calling all live theatre enthusiasts – get ready to immerse yourself in the world of Shakespeare's comedy in the heart of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens. Melbourne Shakespeare Company has announced its new musical production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, which will debut this year on Saturday, December 3.

Following its contemporary interpretation of A Midsummer Night's Dream, the production company will deliver the same quality experience with a star-studded list of actors featuring Elle Sejean-Allen, Ellis Dolan and Chris Broadstock. The musical has enlisted a predominantly female cast including Anne Page (Lucy May Knight) and Fenton (Sarah Clarke) who play each other's romantic love interests. The recycled costumes and set design, which has been crafted from reused and reclaimed materials, is another highlight of the production.

The Merry Wives of Windsor will run from Saturday, December 3 to Saturday, December 24. Tickets can now be purchased via the Melbourne Shakespeare Company website.
