This madcap comedy is all breathless energy and big-hearted belly laughs.

Falstaff bites off more than he can chew when he messes with the merry wives of Windsor. Set in 1940s post-war England, this Shakespeare-meets-Ealing-comedy production combines humour with music that bursts with energy.

Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
