A RAUCOUS night of Shakespearean comedy is coming to Bromsgrove, packed with mischief, wit and Bard-inspired wordplay.
Much Ado About Falstaff, the latest production from Stratford Theatre Company, will be performed at Bromsgrove Arts on Wednesday, April 22—just one day before Shakespeare’s birthday.
Created by Simon Downing, the play revisits one of Shakespeare’s most memorable characters, Sir John Falstaff, and asks all the questions the Bard left unanswered.
A spokesperson for the company said: "In this new comedy by Simon Downing we find Falstaff, played by Giles Shenton in his bedroom in the Boars Head being nursed by Mistress Quickly, played by Georgie Taylor.
"The creditors arrive demanding payment.
"Will Falstaff resort to marrying Mistress Quickly in order to pay off his debts? Will he turn teetotal? Will he mellow in his old age?
"Find out the answers to all these important questions that Shakespeare never bothered to answer and join Falstaff for an evening of jollity, frivolity, a definite lack of coequality and more Shakespearean insults than ever previously heard on a theatrical stage."
Bromsgrove Arts is located at Fairfield Village Hall and offers free parking and a licensed bar.
Tickets can be booked via the Bromsgrove Arts website.
