The Merry Wives of Windsor

The Merry Wives of Windsor

Bard on the Beach, Vancouver
Summer 2016

This hit production of Bard’s 2012 season returns in 2016, this time on the BMO Mainstage.  Meet John Falstaff, a British ex-patriot who has landed in the Windsor, Ontario of 1968.  He’s decided to seduce a few local housewives – after all, how could small town Canadians resist his charm? – and is about to be taught a hilarious lesson by these two resourceful women, who just happen to be best friends.

Scored by classic county-western music, this show was recognized by Jessie Richardson Awards for Outstanding Production, Direction, Costume Design, and Musical Direction.  Here’s your chance to see it, either again or for the first time.
