Vidar Hjardeng MBE - The Merry Wives of Windsor, AD Theatre Review
Season 2, Episode 603, Jul 05, 02:00 PM
RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio theatre reviews.
This week Vidar was in Stratford-upon-Avon for a fresh new production of Shakespeare’s comedy The Merry Wives of Windsor.
About The Merry Wives of Windsor:
‘Revenged I will be, as sure as his guts are made of puddings.’
Curtains are twitching and tongues are wagging in this fresh new production of Shakespeare’s suburban comedy. When an out-of-pocket schemer arrives among the lawns and herbaceous borders of Windsor, he sets about seducing two well-to-do married women. It’s the perfect hustle. Surely one of them will fall for his irresistible charms? But in this neighbourhood, wives talk. And they’re about to play some tricks of their own...
Lies! Jealousy! Dirty laundry! The Merry Wives of Windsor is an uproarious tale of mischief and double-dealing where the women get the last laugh. What goes on at Number 22 is absolutely everybody’s business.
Blanche McIntyre (The Two Noble Kinsmen, All’s Well That Ends Well for the RSC, Arabian Nights at Bristol Old Vic) returns to direct The Merry Wives of Windsor at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon
There will be another audio described performance of this summer belter of a production of The Merry Wives of Windsor in Stratford-upon-Avon on Friday 30 August at 7.15pm and for more about access at the royal Shakespeare Company including details of described performances do visit - https://www.rsc.org.uk/your-visit/access
