Description: THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR by William Shakespeare.

Legend has it that Queen Elizabeth I so loved the character of Falstaff, the sleezy fat old knight, that she asked Shakespeare to write a play in which he falls hopelessly in love. Shakespeare, being Her Majesty’s loyal subject, duly obliged – but being Shakespeare he wasn’t content to do things by halves. He wrote a play in which Falstaff falls in love not once, but TWICE – at the same time, with two women who are actually best friends. The result is THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR.

Multiple international award-winning Illyria perform Shakespeare at his most boisterous and farcical. Bring an extra pair of socks – you’ll laugh the first pair off.

BBQ by Store House of Foulis or bring your own picnic.

Gates open at 6pm. Enjoy a walk in the Dell too.
