Falstaff gets him come-uppance (three times) in this rather confused but at times immensely funny Shakespeare comedy - his only one about the middle classes. The story, almost certainly false, goes that Queen Elizabeth I so enjoyed the character of Falstaff that she asked to see him again in another play - in love. Shakespeare is supposed to have obliged with this delightful romp.T834347684Producer Royal Shakespeare Company. Adapted by Gregory Doran. Director Gregory Doran. Design Stephen Brimson Lewis.
