I had a delightful podcast discussion with Hank Neimark, one of the Directors and Eric Hefler, who plays Falstaff, in The Bird-On-A-Ciff’s Woodstock Shakespeare Festival production of “The Merry Wives of Windsor”, Shakespeare’s light heartened, and raucous, comedy, truly a farce, which focuses on middle class domestic issues and the agency of its female characters.
The Merry Wives of Windsor is Shakespeare’s only contemporaneous play, and features two very clever and able women who turn the tables on the bumptious, raucous, drunken rogue and scoundrel, womanizing, egotistical, deceitful, epicure and glutton, the fragile and fearful, morbidly obese and impoverished knight, Sir John Falstaff.
