The Merry Wives of Windsor - RSC at the Barbican
Down on his luck in the suburbs, Sir John Falstaff plans to hustle his way to a comfortable retirement by seducing the wives of two wealthy men. Unknown to him, it’s the women of Windsor who really pull the strings, orchestrating Falstaff’s comeuppance amidst a theatrical smorgasbord of petty rivalries, jealousies and over-inflated egos. For a fat Englishman, a Welshman and a Frenchman, the only way is Windsor...
Fiona Laird directs RSC Associate Artist David Troughton as Falstaff following his recent acclaimed performance in Titus Andronicus (2017).
