"The Merry Wives of Windsor" by William Shakespeare
A Renaissance romp with a 1950s twist. This inventive production—directed by theatre department chair Carin Silkaitis—serves up Shakespeare's legendary comedic hijinks in a midcentury American soda shop. On the menu: original live music, lots of fun, and sassy cultural critique of the text's complicated representations of love, jealousy, marriage, gender roles, and social class.
