The Merry Wives of Windsor

About

Sir John Falstaff, everyone’s favourite Shakespearean sleazeball, has fallen on hard times. The Merry Wives of Windsor is at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts on Thursday 12 September at 7.30pm. Tickets are £16.

In order to fix his finances Falstaff plans to seduce the wives of two wealthy merchants. But, wise to his wily ways, the ladies take the opportunity to punish him 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 Pantaloons put their own innovative and interactive spin on this classic comedy.

The Pantaloons are a vibrant and anarchic theatre company. They draw from a wide variety of popular theatre traditions, from commedia dell’arte and pantomime to stand-up comedy and silent movies. They aim to recapture an aspect of Shakespeare’s drama which the modern naturalistic theatre has lost: the riotous energy of the clown. Tapping into this rich vein of anarchic humour can have a strangely moving and uplifting effect.

The Pantaloons are dedicated to making theatre accessible yet intelligent, taking inspiration from an eclectic mix of popular forms and re-inventing these to produce imaginative and innovative work. Their style is self-aware and playful, with one foot constantly in the world of the here-and-now while the other remains within the world of illusion.

This hysterical spin on a classic is not to be missed.
