Description of the performance

The brilliant comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor by the great William Shakespeare demonstrates that a story from the time of Queen Elizabeth could very well be an episode from the present day – after all, there are still layabouts, schemers, jealous types, and philanderers among us.

Chairman Falstaff self-servingly decides to win the favor of two high-ranking ladies – Mrs. Page and Mrs. Ford. Mrs. Ford's husband is very jealous and resolves the situation with his own methods. However, the clever ladies of Windsor prove to everyone that even a high-ranking individual cannot afford anything, and the truth will eventually come to light.

Everything the audience sees in the play could also happen now among us. Without unnecessary modernization of the story, some might recognize in Falstaff's actions the methods of contemporary politicians, while others will find that even though times change, humanity essentially remains the same.

Unusual historicizing costumes are timeless – they remind us of the period in which the play was written, yet we can also observe clear outlines of contemporary fashion in them, which hints at the relevance of the theme.
