This summer is turning out to be a great one if you enjoy unusual outdoor theater. Yesterday we told you about The Spoon River Project at Green-Wood, which starts next week, and today we hear about a free production by Brave New World Repertory Theatre's Shakespeare Festival in July. The Merry Wives of Windsor (Terrace) will be performed at Our Lady's Field (130 Windsor Place), and it sounds like it'll be a ton of fun. Off-Off Broadway describes the show:
Set in the big hair 1980's, Brave New World's Merry Wives of Windsor (Terrace) re-imagines Falstaff as a befuddled mob boss and Mistress Ford and Mistress Page as the-real-housewives-of-Brooklyn-with an eye for mischief and an ear for the traditional Brooklyn accent of the time.
The show will run on July 28-29 at 5pm, and on July 30-31 at 3pm.
