The Merry Wives of Windsor
Overview
When Sir John Falstaff seeks some amusement, he pens identical letters to two married women, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page. Upon discovering his scheme, the two women conspire to play a few tricks on the knight to give him a taste of his own medicine. However, Mistress Ford’s husband, who is extremely suspicious, is trying to extract details from Falstaff about the supposed affair. At the same time, the Pages’ daughter, Anne, finds herself surrounded by eager suitors.
