When an out-of-pocket schemer arrives among the lawns and herbaceous boarders 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 ...
The Merry Wives of Windsor is an uproarious tale of mischief and double-dealing where women get the last laugh. It is a great example of a Shakespearean comedy and explores the themes of:
- Deceit
- Marriage
- Revenge and jealousy
