The Merry Wives of Windsor — Nothing But Roaring
Shakespeare's tale of seduction gone awry.
Overview
Mischief and merriment are on their way to fortyfivedownstairs. Marking 400 years since William Shakespeare's death, local theatre company Nothing But Roaring present their take on the bard's romantic comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor, a tale of seduction gone farcically awry.
The play concerns the misadventures of Sir John Falstaff, an old, fat, down-on-his-luck knight attempting to woo a pair of married women and separate them from their fortunes. Unfortunately for him, the two women are best friends, and the plan soon begins to collapse around his ears.
Now before you book tickets, you should know that The Merry Wives of Windsor is widely considered to be one of Shakespeare's weakest plays. Then again, that's a bit like talking about one of the world's weakest Michelin-starred restaurants. The Nothing But Roaring production opens April 19 and runs until May 1.
