Embark on a delightful journey of mischief, pranks, and folly with The Merry Wives of Windsor, a play that, according to urban legend, was inspired by Queen Elizabeth’s request for a tale featuring the eccentric Sir John Falstaff in love. However, in this uproarious comedy, rather than finding Falstaff in love, we find him entangled in the shrewd schemes of two clever Windsor wives who unite to outwit one of Shakespeare’s most endearing scoundrels. Set against the backdrop of Elizabethan domestic life and featuring an eclectic ensemble of zany characters, this irresistible comic confection weaves together romance and farce to create a joyful story of community and family.


The Merry Wives of Windsor 2024

American Shakespeare Center's Blackfriars Playhouse

Step into an ominous world of witches, warfare, murder, and madness this season at the Blackfriars Playhouse with Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a relentless examination of the darkest depths of the human condition. This twisted tale begins with a supernatural prophecy that sets in motion a bloody course of events for Macbeth and his Lady as they descend into treachery and turmoil. Fueled by their own ambition and encouraged by haunting visitations from three otherworldly figures, the Macbeths cling desperately to their ill-gotten throne, and their sanity, as battle looms and they must face the tragic consequences of their tyranny and betrayal.


Macbeth 2024

The world whirls out of control in the thrilling tale of France’s Joan of Arc, the English warrior Talbot, and the young King Henry VI. Shakespeare’s epic, powerful beginning of the Wars of the Roses is riveting storytelling that never lets up. In this raw, “Bare Bard/Original Practices” production, Orlando Shakes’ actors will perform the play with less than 40 hours of rehearsal, no designers, and no director – just like the acting companies of Shakespeare’s time!
