July 2017 | Theatre N16 Globe Space, Balham
The Merry Wives
of Windsor
Written late in the 16th century, reportedly to satisfy Elizabeth I’s wish to see Falstaff in one more play, it’s a bawdy comedy full of innuendo, tricks and marriage. Co-director Simon Grujich describes it as being like a Shakespeare pantomime, and you can really see why! It’s a fun and frivolous affair that suits Merely’s aptitude for comedy and ensures an entertaining evening for everyone.
