Merry times at Ness
Jul 25 2008 by Michael Green, Flintshire Chronicle
NESS Gardens will take you back to Elizabethan times on Saturday, July 26, by hosting a production of The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare.
Legend has it that Queen Elizabeth I so loved the character of Falstaff, the fat bawdy knight, that she asked Shakespeare to write a play in which he falls hopelessly in love.
Shakespeare duly obliged by writing a play in which Falstaff falls in love not once but twice – at the same time, with two women who are actually best friends.
Multiple international award – winning Illyria perform Shakespeare at his most boisterous and farcical. The performance will take place within the gardens, with the gates open at 6pm, performance starting at 7pm.
Ticket prices are: adults £12, children £7 (3-16). Ring 0151 353 012.
