Merry Wives of Windsor

I had one of the most enjoyable experiences IÂ’ve ever had in theatre last night. ArenaÂ’s production of ShakespeareÂ’s Merry Wives of Windsor was so delightful and entertaining. Congratulations must go to Jo Williams for her original spin on one of the classics and for her brilliant direction. The actors were outstanding, presenting such a diverse range of characters, from an American priest to a French doctor. It is impossible to single out any particular actor because all were so committed.

I took some of my Year 11 and 12 students to see the performance and they all agreed how fantastic the show was. Not only has Arena produced a quality play, theyÂ’ve made Shakespeare accessible to younger viewers, Baz Lurhman style. There is also quite a bit of eye candy, guys and girls! IÂ’m telling you all now, GO AND SEE IT! ItÂ’s fantastic!

Again, congratulations on an outstanding show!!!
