Performed in Elizabethan style costume, the humour and tales of the folk who live in the lively community of Windsor carries many themes familiar to a modern audience and remains entertaining and fresh.
Much humour is to be found in the plotting of Mistress Page and Mistress Ford to expose the lascivious doings of the lecherous Falstaff and teach him a lesson. Meanwhile the Pages’ daughter Anne has fallen for Fenton whose heart is true, but whose pockets are lacking. Each of Anne’s parents is promoting another suitor for her hand - the foppish Slender or Dr Caius. Can love conquer all in the end?
This is a chance to see this truly enjoyable play in the gorgeous setting of Powderham Castle's courtyard.
