‘Revenged I will be, as sure as his guts are made of puddings’
When an out-of-pocket schemer arrives among the lawns and herbaceous borders of Windsor, he sets about seducing two well-to-do married women. It’s the perfect hustle. Surely one of them will fall for his irresistible charms?
But in this neighbourhood, wives talk. And they’re about to play some tricks of their own…
Lies! Jealousy! Dirty laundry! The Merry Wives of Windsor is an uproarious tale of mischief and double-dealing where the women get the last laugh. What goes on at Number 22 is absolutely everybody’s business.
After an uproarious opening in 2024 as part of Daniel Evans and Tamara Harvey’s inaugral season at the RSC, Blanche McIntyre’s “immaculate” and “utterly joyous” (Times) production of William Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor will tour to venues across England in the spring of 2028.
