Description
Summary:Pursuing two respectably married women at the same time, a would-be seducer fails to anticipate that his targets will, quite literally, compare notes. Nor has he reckoned on the mischievous spirit in which the wives will use their wits and wiles to teach him the error of his ways. Set in the 1950s, in a town not unlike Stratford, Ontario, this production from Canada's renowned Stratford Festival brings Shakespeare's rollicking comedy close to home - and close to our hearts.
