Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare
Denver Center Theatre Company
The Stage Theatre
Thursday, April 10,  6:30 p.m.
Sir John Falstaff is larger than life and twice as hilarious in Shakespeare’s rambunctious comedy of rascals, secret identities, marital mayhem and romance in an English village.  The vain, bumbling Falstaff, short on funds and ale, pots to seduce and rob two respectable Windsor wives.  In a style worthy of TV’s Lucy and Ethel, the women thwart his plot, while the villagers join in a boisterous moonlit revel, to drum the hapless knight out of town for good and all.  Timeless and timely comedy.
