Outdoor theatre at Painshill performed by Illyria.

Falstaff is skint. He attempts to seduce two merchants’ wives hoping to relieve them of some money. But when Mistress Page and Mistress Ford receive identical love letters, they vow to share revenge. Falstaff endures humiliation, terror and physical pain in repeated amorous attempts. So how can the merry wives teach him a lesson he’ll never forget? Sensational international-award-winning Illyria guarantee a night of laughter and hijinks under the stars.

Illyria supports Equity’s ‘Professionally Made, Professionally Paid’ campaign for fair pay and working conditions.
