Welcome to 1968, where wealthy jealous husbands, outrageous “far-out” local characters and the original “desperate housewives” spin into a spiral of hilarious hijinks when Falstaff comes to town. Hard up for cash, the unscrupulous Falstaff hatches up a crazy plan that can't possibly backfire — to cuckold Windsor's wealthy husbands and get his greedy paws on their money. However, the merry wives have a real gas devising a scheme of their own to teach him a well-deserved lesson in Wooing 101. Featuring puppets, music and just six actors playing more than 15 characters, this hilariously magnificent treat of artful deceit is not to be missed. Join Humber River Shakespeare at some of the most exceptional venues for arts, culture and heritage in the GTA, including the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Alton Mill Arts Centre, the Old Mill Inn and Montgomery's Inn Toronto.
