Greater Hartford Shakespeare Festival: The Merry Wives of WindsoR

July 11-28. Thursday through Friday, 7 :30 p.m.; Sunday, 5:30 p.m. "The Merry Wives of Windsor" is a bawdy and riotous romp that stars one of Shakespeare's most beloved comic characters. Falstaff, an impoverished knight in search of wealth, sets his sights on two married wealthy women. Little does he know, these "merry wives" have a few tricks up their sleeves. The production will be directed by Geoffrey Sheehan, Capital Classics artistic associate and theatre professor at Housatonic Community College.
