The Merry Wives of Windsor

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Terri McMahon
May 30 – October 12, 2025 Allen Elizabethan Theatre

The town that tricks together sticks together

Sir John Falstaff—Prince Hal’s boisterous drinking buddy from the Henry IV plays—has come down in the world, out of money and stuck in the middle-class burg of Windsor. Hatching a plot to hit on two wealthy married women, he’s soon ensnared in love triangles and trickery, and he hasn’t even figured out that his prey are now deceiving him. Food, dancing, and dirty laundry are all part of the fun in Shakespeare’s most domestic comedy—and part of what makes this small town a home. OSF is delighted to welcome back longtime company member Terri McMahon, who directs this new production with a joyful, dance-filled flair.

Suitability Suggestions
Despite some bawdiness involving a character trying to have affairs with not one but two married people, the play has an innocence and sweetness to it, and everyone’s honor remains firmly intact. With some preparation, this bright, energetic comedy is suitable for the entire family.
