The Merry Wives of Windsor at The Aboyne Green

Falstaff is skint. Dismissing his band of reprobate followers is insufficient to shore up his finances. So he decides to seduce the wives of two merchants in the hope of relieving them of some of their wealth. Mistress Page and Mistress Ford are best friends who keep no secrets from one another - so when they receive identical love letters from Falstaff the outraged women vow to share revenge. But Falstaff, led by an organ that isnt his brain, endures humiliation, terror, even physical pain in his repeated amorous pursuits. What can the merry wives do to teach him a lesson hell never forget?

Performed in the great outdoors by five phenomenal actors, this fast-paced production has been created using only the First Folio text - the most authoritative edition of Shakespeares plays. Join the sensational international-award-winning Illyria this summer for a night of laughter and hijinks under the stars.
