The Merry Wives Of Windsor at First Folio Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...I'm not sure it's possible to make "Merry Wives" profound. But in Sandys' hands, First Folio offers an enjoyable romp through the universal concerns of the common man and woman - those nagging doubts and desires that lie behind the smiles and waves they roll out when royalty passes through town."

ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended

"...The quality of "The Merry Wives" does not surprise, since First Folio has received 25 Jeff nominations or awards in just the last ten years. Under the leadership of David Rice (Executive Director) and Alison Vesely (Artistic Director), suburbanites can enjoy a first rate theater, and this particular show is a good fun night!"

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...Shakespeare's magic weaves itself throughout most of the Bards works, but the First Folio's version of the Merry Wives of Windsor adds its own magic as it performs this comedy outdoors, under the stars. This is Shakespeare as it might have been in merry old England. Merry Wives is Shakespeare's most middle class play in setting, subject matter and outlook. It is also one of his most farcical works which never takes itself too seriously."
