The Merry Wives of Windsor

Enjoy a madcap take on Shakespeare's classic comedy in this outdoor theatre spectacular at Speke Hall.

Sir John Falstaff, everyone's favourite Shakespearean sleazeball, has fallen on hard times. In order to fix his finances he plans to seduce the wives of two wealthy merchants. But, wise to his wily ways, the ladies take the opportunity to punish Falstaff 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.

Make the most of early bird pricing on adult and family tickets - available up to and including April 7.
