Grades 9–12
The Jentes Family Courtyard Theater
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Phillip Breen
Falstaff, the irrepressible, irresistible companion of Prince Hal, triumphantly returns to Shakespeare’s stage in a play written just for him. As short on cash as he is on scruples, Falstaff sets out to woo two of Windsor’s very respectable—very married—women. But the Wives of Windsor have minds and plans of their own. Passion and sweet revenge lace the air.
