2010 Season
A brand new comedy, this play was commissioned by the Festival
to help Prescott celebrate its 200th birthday in 2010. Adapted from
Shakespeare's The Merry Wives of Windsor, John Lazarus has
set the play in Prescott in 1910, bringing all of Shakespeare's
colourful characters to the local area. Come and enjoy the lovable
rogue, Falstaff, trying to win over the hearts of several married
ladies... and see them get their revenge!
Over four hundred years since it was first performed,
Shakespeare's tale of power, ambition and blood continues to weave
its magical spell over audiences. Is life controlled by fate or by
the choices we make…?
