The Merry Wives of Windsor
After the "problem plays" (i.e. the unfunny comedies), it was quite the joy to return to comedic, bawdy Shakespeare!
The fun cast of characters: portly Falstaff, crack-myself-up Mistress Quickly, Clouseau-like Doctor Caius and the conniving Mistresses Ford and Page!

Anne: "Alas, I had rather be set quick i' th' earth.
And bowl'd to death with turnips."

Falstaff: "The rogues slighted me into the river...and you may know by my size that I have a kind of alacrity in sinking; if the bottom were as deep as hell I should down."
