2025 Performance
The Merry Wives of Windsor
Sunday 3rd August
Falstaff is skint. He decides his only option is to seduce the wives of two wealthy merchants. But the women are best friends ...
Scandalised that Falstaff wrote them identical love-letters, they vow to play tricks back on him. With the help of their husbands and friends, the merry wives lure him to a haunted forest and teach him a lesson he won't forget!
An intrepid band of five actors, performing Shakespeare’s plays direct from the First Folio, we’re delighted to invite back Illyria to Manor Farm this Summer!
Running time: 2hrs 20mins (inc 20min interval)
Suitable for all ages.
Please note: NO seating provided this year, please bring your own rugs to sit on.
