HSTC Visualizes William Shakespeare's THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR

In the midst of quarantine where every actor along with everyone in the entertainment industry are on lockdown, a collective of Shakespeare enthusiasts, actors and artists are gathered to continue in expressing their artistry and creativity online with the help of modern technology. Ironically in the world of Shakespeare and his canon of verses and plays, we find ourselves running this comedy virtually by Hold Space Theatre Collective.

The comedy of Merry Wives of Windsor is one of William Shakespeare's lesser-regarded comedies and is set during King Henry IV's plays featuring Falstaff in Windsor. It is one of the last plays by William Shakespeare and one of the less-regarded plays in his canon. The irony of the outcome of the situation is the comedy of the entire narrative which entails karma, love, passion and disparities in social-economic class. The reflection of the classic storyline still echoes to present-contemporary times that highlights the universality of Shakespeare's work and its relevance today.
