Performance on Screen: The best operas, ballets and plays performed by internationally renowned companies.

Shakespeare’s hilarious farce of suburbia, wives and over-inflated egos sparkles in this new production from London’s renowned Royal Shakespeare Company. Down on his luck, Sir John Falstaff plans to hustle his way to comfortable retirement by seducing the wives of two wealthy men. Unknown to him, it’s the women of Windsor who really pull the strings, orchestrating Falstaff's comeuppance amidst a madcap theatrical smorgasbord of jealousies and petty rivalries. The only way is Windsor in this modern reality TV-influenced staging broadcast from Stratford-Upon Avon.
