The Merry Wives of Windsor

“Wives may be merry, and yet honest too.”

A delightfully naughty romp! The infamous Falstaff is on the hunt for a wealthy wife (or two) to woo in order to finance his next wave of frivolity and fun. But when he sets his sights on the clever and quick-witted Mistresses Page and Ford, he gets a bit more than he bargained for.

Since 1958, the Colorado Shakespeare Festival has delighted audiences with professional theatre on the CU Boulder campus. All productions will occur in the comfortable indoor Roe Green Theatre this season.

‘Shakespeare’s Sitcom’

'“Few of Shakespeare’s plays have occasioned more … weeping and wailing and gnashing of scholarly teeth than The Merry Wives of Windsor,” a scholar wrote in 1941, listing among the play’s deficiencies the “inferior quality of the comedy” and the “degradation of Falstaff,” a serious character plucked from the Henry IV cycle."
