The Merry Wives of Windsor Reviews

DC Theater Arts- Highly Recommended

"...Chesapeake Shakespeare Company has done an excellent job channeling the spirit of the Bard with their outdoor production of The Merry Wives of Windsor. Creating spaces for children and adults alike to experience Shakespeare in their own ways: a build-your-own-antlers table stocked with rainbow pipe cleaners, a pre-play “storytime” with a delightful abridged summary of the play, a maypole at intermission, and plenty of chances to sing along with the talented ensemble cast. It was a true testament to Shakespeare (and to the CSC) that my six-year-old understood the entirety of the plot and found herself thoroughly enchanted by the performances."

"...To let you understand how good this show was, on opening night the performance had to be cancelled due to rain at intermission. I returned the next day to catch the rest of the play and easily picked up on the action and thoroughly enjoyed the ending. This might be the best production of “The Merry Wives of Windsor” I have attended. It is also the 20th year for these outdoor performances and they are always worth seeing."
