Shakespeare Dallas - The Merry Wives of Windsor, TX

Shakespeare Dallas is taking a new direction this year – featuring two of Shakespeare’s most colorful comedies during the company’s 38th summer season. Texas-style adaptations of The Taming of the Shrew and The Merry Wives of Windsor will take center stage at Samuell-Grand Amphitheatre in June and July.

The Merry Wives of Windsor, TX, by William Shakespeare

Directed by SD Artistic Associate René Moreno

Colonel John Falstaff arrives in Windsor, TX, to celebrate July 4th, 1965. At the big community BBQ in the town square after the parade and the fireworks, Colonel Falstaff meets Mrs. Page and her neighbor, Mrs. Ford, both of whom manage the money of their households. Falstaff then decides to woo both women and charm them free of their money. But after he writes them a love letter (the exact same letter except for the name of the addressee) the two "merry wives" compare letters and decide to give Colonel John his comeuppance.
