ABOUT THE SHOW:

Join us for an updated version of Shakespeare's only play set among the middle class. You're invited to a backyard barbeque where Falstaff, broke and in need of money to maintain his lifestyle, hatches a plan to seduce Mmes. Ford and Page and line his pockets with their wealth. When the two friends each receive identical love letters, they hatch a revenge plan of epic proportions to punish Falstaff and put an end to his misdeeds once and for all. As they do, Mr. Ford goes undercover to test his wife's fidelity. Meanwhile Mr. Page attempts to arrange the marriage of his daughter Anne to Slender--a young man encouraged by his Aunt Shallow and Sir Hugh to pursue the marriage for financial reasons. Her mother's choice is the hot-headed Dr. Caius, but Anne's heart is with Miss Fenton, of whom both parents disapprove. Throw in the saavy Miss Quickly, one eccentric inkeeper, a few dimwitted messengers, two estranged friends of Falstaff and some cornhole, and then fire up the grill: It's times to get cooked!

Rated PG for occasional obscure or ribald Elizabethan references in iambic pentameter, some of which may or may not go over some audience members' heads.

Shakespeare's suburban comedy where scheming and mischief abound and the ladies have the last laugh!
