- Synopsis:
- Among the honest folk of Windsor, Sir John Falstaff stands out as a rogue, a chancer and an oaf. More concerned with his lack of money, the ageing overweight Falstaff hatches a plan to court two wealthy married women, Mistress Ford and Mistress Page. When the two wives get together they devise their own plan to teach the knight a lesson... Shakespeare's boisterous comedy of love and money was supposedly written because Queen Elizabeth wanted to see Falstaff in love.
