Greetings! It’s time for our monthly Let’s Make a Scene with The 30-Minute Shakespeare!
Monday, April 22nd, 2024 from 7:30 to 8:30 PM EST.
This month we will be round-robin reading The Merry Wives of Windsor: the 30-Minute Shakespeare over Zoom.
No experience necessary!
You get to play the fat knight Falstaff as he bumbles his way through attempted seduction of Mistress Ford and Mistress Page, who arrange his animalistic comeuppance in the forest.
You can play the irrepressible Mistress Quickly, the happily drunk Bardolph, the malapropistic French Dr. Caius and any of the myriad merry characters in Shakespeare’s only true domestic comedy.
I'm attaching the script this time WITH stage directions for those who download the script beforehand. We have been cutting out the stage directions when we paste the script into the chat because it is confusing, but for those who download and/or print ahead of time, the stage directions help give you...direction! Here they are in Word and PDF WITH stage directions. (Download at the little blue links):

Best to download the script and print it out or read it on a tablet but if you just show up I can post the script into the chat and for people who are only using one device, we can paste the script into the chat! Where there’s a “Will”, there’s a way!
