"FALSTAFF"by
VERDI and BOITO
In a new English version written and directed by
TONY BRITTEN
At a golf club near Windsor, “Big John” Falstaff props up the bar at the nineteenth hole, (the member’s bar) which is where he is invariably to be found. He doesn’t actually play golf, because no-one wants to play with him – and anyway he’s probably too plump to make it beyond the first green.
However he takes comfort in the fact that his bar bill is about to be settled, and all he has to do to achieve this extraordinary feat is to seduce the lovely Alice Ford, a task that he considers himself eminently qualified to undertake.
As the big man blunders from one catastrophe to another and the plot races towards its uproarious conclusion, Tony Britten’s trademark wit and accessibility perfectly compliments Verdi’s glorious comedy.
Shot on high definition, entirely on location in England.
Duration – 118 minutes.
