THE PLAY
The Merry Wives of Windsor is a Shakespearean comedy where two witty wives, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page, team up to humiliate the boastful, financially struggling knight Sir John Falstaff after he sends them identical love letters hoping to
swindle their money. They orchestrate elaborate pranks, hiding him in laundry baskets, throwing him in the Thames, and eventually dressing him as the "Fat Woman of Brentford"; all while his rival, Master Ford, spies on his wife, and Anne
Page secretly marries her true love, Fenton, amidst her parents' mismatched suitors.The play concludes with a grand, final prank in Windsor Great Park, exposing Falstaff as a buffoon and uniting the community in laughter.
