'A wonderfully warming comedy, stuffed to bursting with belly laughs.'
The Times

'The feel-good hit of the summer.'
Daily Telegraph

Imagining that Mistress Ford and Mistress Page have each fallen for him, the fat knight Sir John Falstaff decides to seduce them both, as much for their husbands money as for their personal charms. Wise to the old rogues tricks, the women turn the tables on him with a series of humiliating assignations and a very damp, extremely smelly laundry basket.

Featuring many characters from Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, Shakespeares brilliantly constructed farce, which gave birth to a tradition that reaches down to the modern TV sitcom, returns to the Globe after delighting audiences in 2008.
