Shakespeare's timeIess comedy of Iovers' seductions, fancifuI deceits and maritaI fideIity
UnfamiIiar EngIish accents, so prevaIent in most Shakespearean production, are absent from this series. EngIish and drama teachers, as weIl as the typical pIaygoer, will find this feature of tremendous vaIue. Shakespeare's own language is preserved; cIarity of both language and story is achieved.
Sir John Falstaff, a roguish seducer, pIots to entice potentiaIIy unfaithfuI 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 lesson whiIe Mistress Ford's husband uses the opportunity to test his wife's fideIity.
