“The Merry Wives of

Windsor” is a robust comedy of

Falstaff plans to seduce Mistresses Ford and Page to gain

their husbands’ wealth but the

women turn the tables on him.

The merry wives plot to prevent Mistress Page’s daughter

Anne from marrying the man

she loves.

In “Richard III,” physically

deformed Richard plans to seize

the throne from his brother Edward IV and causes another

brother, Clarence, to be arrested

and murdered.

In his mad rise to power, he

woos a prince’s widow in the

presence of her husband’s

corpse, has the young heir and

his brother murdered and removes all who stand in his way.
