THE REAL
MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR
GARDENS
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Mark Wickett
8-17 May 2026
Little Theatre
For best friends Alice and Margaret, receiving identical love letters from the failing influencer Falstaff has one response – revenge. While they plot retribution, they are not alone: their husbands Francis and George are up to no good, and daughter Anne must overcome parental pressure to get what she wants. Enabled by a network of women who look out for each other and men that don't, payback will be served on them all.
The Real Merry Wives of Windsor Gardens is a re-invigoration of the Shakespeare farce, set in an ordinary suburb of Adelaide, and brought up to date through the lens of reality television and internet fame.
'Wives may be merry, and yet honest too.'
