The Merry Wives of Windsor at Shakespeares Globe Theatre

Why see The Merry Wives of Windsor?

When Night Dogs Run, All Sorts Of Deer Are Chased

A fresh take on Shakespeare's buoyant and breezy comedy, The Globe 2025 season just got all the more filled with belly laughs, mishaps, and hijinks aplenty! A hilarious swan song for what is said to be Queen Elizabeth I's favorite of his characters, Director Sean Holmes (Much Ado About Nothing, The Comedy of Errors) brings you into the wild side of the Elizabethan social order with The Merry Wives of Windsor, as middle-class England spirals into delightful chaos!

Down on his luck, famed bounder Sir John Falstaff decides to turn his fortunes around by scamming two married women with identical love letters, hoping that at least one of them falls for his ploy and shares her husband's fortune with him. But things take a turn when the savvy ladies, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page, catch on to his plans and decide to turn the tables, pulling off some clever tricks of their own.
