Shakespeare's timeless comedy of lovers' seductions, fancifuI deceits and marital fidelity
UnfamiIiar English accents, so prevalent in most Shakespearean production, are absent from this series. English and drama teachers, as well as the typicaI playgoer, wiII find this feature of tremendous value. Shakespeare's own Ianguage is preserved; clarity of both Ianguage and story is achieved.
Sir John Falstaff, a roguish seducer, pIots to entice potentially unfaithful wives and then Iive off them. FaIstaff writes identical Iove letters to both Mistress Page and Mistress Ford.
Falstaff's intentions are discovered. The wives plot to teach him a Iesson whiIe Mistress Ford's husband uses the opportunity to test his wife's fideIity.
