THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR
by William Shakespeare
Directed by Paul Rowe
Thursdays & Fridays at 6:00pm
July 17th - August 8th
The ALT Hotel, 125 Water St.
In partnership with The ALT Hotel
Sir John Falstaff, loveable rogue, ex-military man, and permanent resident of the ALT Hotel is entranced by a couple of ladies, Alice Ford and Margaret Page, who are attending a conference there. Despite the fact that these honourable women are accompanied by their husbands, Sir John perceives an interest in himself and construes a plan for their seduction. Vanity, thy name is Falstaff! Abetted by the hotel concierge, Mistress Quickly, Falstaff arranges two meetings with Alice Ford. But, as it turns out, he is a man being played more than playing. He becomes the unwilling victim of the jealous rages of Ford's husband, Frank. At the third meeting, all hands join in the deception and revel at Sir John's unmasking and public embarrassment. A Welsh Parson, a Shallow Justice, a Slender dupe, a Simple Servant, the lovely Anne Page and her guileless suitor Fenton, two musically-inclined hotel employees, and the imperturbable husband George Page, make up the rest of the ensemble. Let the frolics begin!
Performed at The ALT Hotel on their beautiful outdoor terrace.
Shows are weather permitting, but will proceed in less than favourable conditions, provided it is safe for performers and audience alike. Bring a comfortable chair or cushion, a blanket, picnic, rain coat, or sun hat as befits the ever changing NL weather! Limited seating is available at wooden picnic tables (fixed positions)
