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!!!

On behalf of the entire cast and crew, I'd just like to say a quick thanks to everyone who saw the show (and especially those who gave such glowing reviews!)

The show was a pleasure to perform, and was made especially wonderful with receptive audiences. I'm sure we hope to see you all again some time soon (or at least hope you see us again some time soon).

Hope you all enjoyed the show as much as we did!

Lots of love and some Guinness too (argh Heathway/Drug Aware... it's not REAL Guinness, I wouldn't have drunk any of it if it was!),
