At the start of The Chiltern Shakespeare Company's 40th year, we are delighted to be presenting Shakespeare's timeless comedy of lover's seductions, fanciful deceits and marital fidelity.
We are performing once again in the lovely grounds of the Hall Barn Estate in Beaconsfield. Bring your own food and drink for a relaxed pre-show picnic by the lake before joining us in the covered audience seating.
The Merry Wives of Windsor is the only comedy that Shakespeare set in his native land. In it Sir John Falstaff devises a plan to seduce both Mistress Page and Mistress Ford, the wives of two wealthy merchants of Windsor.
With the help of his trusted band of hapless followers he begins to woo them, but the wives discover his plot and decide to have a bit of fun at his expense. His comedic comeuppance is a witty mix of verbal and physical humour in one of Shakespeare's best loved comedies.
The Box Office is now open and tickets are selling fast, particulary for the popular matinees!

Few more poignant true stories emerged from World War II than the diary of young Anne Frank. Published long afterwards by her father, the only family survivor, it records the minutiae of twenty-five months that two Jewish families spent in hiding from the Gestapo in an Amsterdam warehouse attic.
The constant secrecy, growing hunger and friction of living in such cramped conditions could not dull Anne’s vibrant personality or her passion for living.
Fourways Theatre Company is proud to present The Diary of Anne Frank, during the 80th Anniversary year of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi German concentration and extermination camp where over one million people were murdered, most of whom were Jewish.
With the backdrop of war and terror, Anne never looses her natural excitement and enthusiasm for life, with her mischievous sense of humour. So please come and join us for this at times amusing, touching, and emotional insight into their world.
Please see our Auditions Page for further details of the auditions on Monday 23rd & Thursday 26th June
