The Merry Wives of Windsor
by William Shakespeare
August 5-28
In our Festival Tent at Rock Ledge Ranch

The Queen loved Sir John Falstaff, and wanted another play about him from William Shakespeare. He gave her this comic romp, featuring the famous knight with designs upon the ladies. The ladies, however, are more than a match for him. Shakespeare returns to the festival tent, set in beautiful Rock Ledge Ranch. What’s better than a summer night outdoors, a fat man with antlers on his head and little fairies to pinch him?

Boeing Boeing
by Marc Camoletti
Translated by Beverley Cross & Francis Evans
January 20-February 13, 2011
Cick here for our performance schedule.
Bernard is a Parisian architect with three air hostess fiancées, each convinced she’s the only one. It all works perfectly until an old school friend arrives and a new jet messes up the precision timetables. This classic French farce of the sixties was the most deliriously funny show we saw in London three years ago, and we promise it will fly just as high and just as fast in our own air space. |
