Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks returns next weekend, September 4th, with The Merry Wives of Windsor! Founder Jennifer Tober, director Cat Aceto, and Jo Getting (Falstaff) spoke with Anna Singer live on the QED Afternoon Show about the show.
It's Merry Wives with a twist---set in the 1980s, Cat's adaptation channels the spirit of self-expression, desire, and getting what you want. The play includes MTV references, timely fashion, and many nods to Pittsburgh. Cat and Jennifer explain the power of the merry wives and debate the comedy of Falstaff's pursuit. Jo talks about playing Falstaff as a woman and returning to the character after a previous portrayal with PSiP.
You can see The Merry Wives of Windsor in five different Pittsburgh parks on weekends through October 11th. Check out the full list of performances on the Pittsburgh Shakespeare in the Parks website.
