It’s The Merry Wives Of Windsor as you’ve never seen them before. In the Royal Shakespeare Company’s latest production of the comedy, the play acts as a spin on reality TV and pop culture, with the costumes a mix between contemporary and Elizabethan. It’s safe to say that audiences can expect the unexpected as bonkers events play out before them.
Luckily for us, we got a sneak peek at the show from backstage: Karen Fishwick, the Olivier Award-nominated actress (as one of Our Ladies Of Perpetual Succour), who plays Anne Page, showed us how, at the Barbican Centre this winter, the only way is Windsor. Take a look below.
The Royal Shakespeare Company’s London season plays at the Barbican Centre until Saturday 19 January 2019; The Merry Wives Of Windsor plays until Saturday 5 January. You can book your tickets through the Barbican website.
