What is The Merry Wives of Windsor about?

Sir John Falstaff may not have a great reputation, but he does have a great head for survival and scheming - in his opinion, anyway. Down on his luck, he decides to improve his fortunes by swindling a couple of wealthy housewives. But Mistress Ford and Mistress Page are wise to his charms, and they’re determined to wring out a few laughs as they lead him on a wild goose chase…

Shakespeare takes a walk into the wild and wonderful world of middle-class suburbia with The Merry Wives of Windsor , which reunites audiences with pathetic but lovable Sir John Falstaff - one of the most popular characters in Henry IV Parts One & Two . Witty comedy, physical hi-jinks and a hilarious game of topsy-turvy cat-and-mouse: this lesser-known offering from the Bard’s back-catalogue is worth ticking off at the Globe.

Cast and Creative Team

The Merry Wives of Windsor is directed by Globe Associate Director Sean Holmes, who previously directed Much Ado About Nothing and The Comedy of Errors in 2023-2024. Holmes’s productions of Shakespeare’s funniest plays have been called “an exercise in pure joy” (The Times) and “a hoot” (Time Out) that revels in their laugh-out-loud moments. Expect the outdoor venue (and its opportunities for audience interaction) to be in full bloom when the merry wives arrive!

Casing is to be confirmed.
