The Lunchbox Interview: BitB’s “The Merry Wives of Windsor”
Description
<figure class="alignright size-medium">
</figure>My guests today are Len Falkenstein (Director), Shannon Munn (Mistress Ford), and Rhett Ellis (Falstaff), who are all involved in the upcoming Bard in the Barracks presentation of Shakespeare’s comedy, The Merry Wives of Windsor. We discuss the farce of this play, especially in contrast to the visual reframing as a mobster story.
The Merry Wives of Windsor will be staged on a purpose-built stage on the grounds of Christ Church Cathedral downtown. (Please bring a folding chair.)
Bard in the Barracks runs from June 17 to July 7, with The Merry Wives of Windsor showing on Saturdays and Mondays (June 21, 23, 28, 30 and July 5 and 7), with a preview performance on June 17 and an opening night on June 18. Patrons are advised to arrive by 7:45 , with a curtain time of 8pm.
