COLOUR ME FOOLISH CELEBRATION CAMPAIGN
We are inviting all audience members to show their Foolish spirit on
July 3 by wearing their a Company of Fools garb from seasons past to
help celebrate a Company of Fools Day in what we are calling our
COLOUR ME FOOLISH Campaign. The Fools will be holding contests
throughout the month of June to provide chances for the public to win
Foolish Merchandise so that they can be sure to be dressed and ready
for A COMPANY OF FOOLS DAY.

About The Merry Wives of Windsor: Love and marriage, jealousy and revenge, men and women, English, French and Welsh all collide in this classic clash of cultures, combat of convention and battle of the sexes.  Falstaff, a rascally rogue with a penchant for drink, women and mischief, arrives in the small town of Windsor to get up to no good. Underestimating the intellect of the middle class, he attempts to woo two married ladies at the same time, not realizing for a second that they are onto him.  The wives of Windsor are merry indeed as they use and abuse Falstaff for their own amusement – giving him hard won lessons in matters of the heart (and maybe teaching their husbands a thing or two as well)!  All set against the natural backdrop of Ottawa’s parks shaken and stirred with an Edwardian twist. This highly physical production promises to have audiences of all ages rolling in the aisles (or on the lawn, rather).

The Merry Wives of Windsor runs July 3-August 17 with a 7pm start time. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on, bug spray and a sense of humour.  Pay What You Can donations are collected at the end of the performance and can be submitted in the form of cash or cheque.
