Stone Soup Shakespeare: Merry Wives

Saturday, September 19

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Location: Shorewood Library Lawn

Stone Soup Shakespeare returns to Shorewood with a performance of Shakespeare's comedy, The Merry Wives of Windsor. Join us for this family-friendly program!

When Sir John Falstaff, an impoverished knight and self-proclaimed ladies man, decides to stay in the town of Windsor, he makes quite the splash. His attempts at wooing not one, but two of the town's most high profile women are met by less than what he was hoping for. Amid other town antics, young love, music, and masquerade fun, Merry Wives is a peek at a frivolous moment as we celebrate all of the people in Windsor's neighborhood.

Merry Wives includes slapstick, puppets, music, and silliness as audiences attempt to sort out just who in this small town of Windsor knows what is actually going on. Stone Soup Shakespeare's production includes 6 versatile actors and might just offer a chance for the audience to join in on the laughter and merriment, should they be feeling merry themselves!

This program will occur on the Library Lawn. All are advised to bring a lawn chair or blanket.

In the event of rain, the program will occur in Shorewood Village Center.

This program is generously funded by the Friends of the Shorewood Public Library.
