“Wives may be merry, and yet honest too!” Sir John Falstaff, everyone’s favourite Shakespearean sleaze ball, has fallen on hard times.

In order to fix his finances he plans to seduce the wives of two wealthy merchants. But, wise to his wily ways, the ladies take the opportunity to punish Falstaff by playing a series of hilarious tricks on the nincompoop knight. 

Expect silly slapstick, abundant anachronisms and memorable music nestled amongst Shakespeare’s poignant poetry as the critically-acclaimed The Pantaloons put their own innovative and interactive spin on this classic comedy.
