The Merry Wives of Windsor written by William Shakespeare performed by Sir Anthony Quayle, Alec McCowen and Michael Hordern on Cassette (Unabridged)

"The Merry Wives of Windsor" is the last of Shakespeare's plays about that rotund hero-villain, Sir John Falstaff. It is a play written, history tells us, for Queen Elizabeth I, who had enjoyed the character in "Henry IV".

The result is a romp, with Sir John rather getting the worst of it. Sir Anthony Quayle is again the boisterous knight, accompanied by a marvellous cast.
