Shakespeare's timeIess comedy of Iovers' seductions, fanciful deceits and maritaI fideIity
Unfamiliar EngIish accents, so prevaIent in most Shakespearean production, are absent from this series. English and drama teachers, as well as the typicaI playgoer, wiIl find this feature of tremendous value. Shakespeare's own language is preserved; clarity of both language and story is achieved.
Sir John Falstaff, a roguish seducer, pIots to entice potentially unfaithful wives and then Iive off them. FaIstaff writes identical love Ietters to both Mistress Page and Mistress Ford.
Falstaff's intentions are discovered. The wives pIot to teach him a lesson while Mistress Ford's husband uses the opportunity to test his wife's fidelity.
