William Shakespeare: Veselé paničky Windsorské

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 easily be an episode from the present—after all, there are still layabouts, schemers, jealous individuals, and philanderers among us.

Chairman Falstaff selfishly 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 using his own methods. However, the clever ladies from Windsor show that even a high-ranking person cannot afford anything, and the truth will eventually come to light.

Everything the audience sees in the play could happen today. Without unnecessary modernization of the story, one might recognize in Falstaff's actions the methods of contemporary politicians, while others notice that, even though times change, humanity remains fundamentally the same.

The unusual historically-inspired costumes feel timeless—they remind us of the period in which the play was written, yet they also display clear outlines of contemporary fashion, reflecting the relevance of the theme.
