A comedy! In The Merry Wives of Windsor, Shakespeare’s “merry wives” are Mistress Ford and Mistress Page of the town of Windsor. The two play practical jokes on Mistress Ford’s jealous husband and a visiting knight, Sir John Falstaff. Merry wives, jealous husbands, and predatory knights were common in a kind of play called “citizen comedy” or “city comedy.” Fauquier Community’s production of The Merry Wives of Windsor is directed by Maggie Mumford. Come see what all the laughter is about that includes disguises, elaborate pranks, and unforgettable characters performed by a cast of 15 actors who will have you laughing throughout!
