Roaring '20s-era 'Merry Wives' enlivens Prospect Lawn

Be thankful for the weather, and knock on wood for this weekend. Then get out your best lawn chair or blanket and make reservations for a spot on Prospect Lawn for the Shakespeare Company's all-new, all-matinee, all-hilarious production of Shakespeare's most oft-forgotten comedy, "The Merry Wives of Windsor."After wiggling under those taut green chains that guard the precious grassy areas of our campus and passing by that oh-so-modern-and-angular black sculpture, you'll cross Prospect Lawn and enter a lovely, laid-back lawn party.Complete with a wonderful jazz quartet playing old standards and a cast of 1920s characters making conversation with the well-prepared and passing out blankets to the negligent, the pre-show down-time captures the exact mood of the play itself ? that of a welcome, relaxing, playful, comic escape from schoolwork, just catching the end of the warm weather season and just missing the gazes of stuffy alumni on their way to proper luncheons."Merry Wives" is a traditionally structured farce of jealousy and misunderstanding, centered around two couples, the Fords and the Pages.
