Sir John Falstaff is Cast. Sir John Falstaff is an overweight rogue who is past his prime, with no money but many plans to get some. His hyperbolic self-confidence leads to trouble when he tries to woo two married ladies of Windsor.
Master Frank Ford is Cast. Master Frank Ford is a middle-aged, middle-class gentleman of Windsor afflicted with an almost pathological case of jealousy and blessed with a very faithful and very clever wife.
Mistress Alice Ford is a middle-aged lady of Windsor, married to Master Frank Ford.
Mistress Margaret Page is a middle-aged lady of Windsor who is fond of her husband George, though she has rather different ideas about who should marry their daughter Anne.
Anne Page is the daughter of Master George Page and Mistress Margaret.
Mistress Quickly is Dr. Caius’s housekeeper, a foolish woman with a poor command of language, mixing up her English words and unable to identify Latin as a foreign language as opposed to dirty English.
Master Abraham Slender is Justice Shallow’s nephew, a rich and foolish man who wishes to marry Anne Page.
Master Fenton is a young, good-looking gentleman with a bit of a wild past who became very attracted to Anne Page when he discovered how rich her father is.
Justice Robert Shallow is an old and respectable man, if somewhat foolish.
Master George Page is a wealthy gentleman of Windsor, married to Mistress Margaret and father of Anne and William.
William Page is the young son of Master George Page and Mistress Margaret.
Sir Hugh Evans is a Welsh parson and the schoolmaster of Windsor; he has not lost his very heavy accent either in English or in Latin, which is a source of much amusement to the others.
Doctor Caius is a French physician, a short-tempered, easily offended man who is wooing Anne Page and does not wish to see anyone else moving in on her.
Host of the Garter Inn is a rather merry innkeeper who is incapable of saying anything simply and likes showing off how many words he knows.
Bardolph is one of Falstaff’s followers; when the fat knight can no longer afford to keep his men, he finds Bardolph a job as bartender for the Host.
Pistol is one of Falstaff’s followers, a swaggering man who loves the sound of his own voice and is incapable of speaking like a normal human being, instead grandiloquently talking like a hammy actor in a melodrama.
Nym is one of Falstaff's followers and is obsessed with humors.
Robin is Falstaff’s page but is not the most faithful of servants.
Peter Simple is Slender’s servant, an obsequious fellow much impressed by his social betters who must put up with a lot from his foolish master.
John Rugby is Dr. Caius’s servant. He is deeply intimidated by his master.

Ferdinand, King of Navarre, is not the most dedicated monarch in the world, preferring to hide away and study for three years instead of taking care of his kingdom.
Berowne is a lord at the court of Navarre, among the King’s best friends and one of the three who agree to join him on his scholarly retreat, though he is rather skeptical of the feasibility of the plan.
Longaville is a tall young lord at the King of Navarre’s court, one of the three lords who agree to join the King on his scholarly retreat, convinced that three years without good food or women is not so long.
Dumaine is a lord at the King of Navarre’s court, one of the three lords who agree to join the King on his scholarly retreat.

Rosaline is a witty and intelligent lady attending on the Princess of France.
Maria is a lady attending on the Princess of France who met Longaville at a family wedding and was rather impressed by him.

Jaquenetta is a country wench who does not have the greatest reputation for virtue.
Don Adriano de Armado is an affected Spanish braggart, a man who thinks himself finer than he actually is and talks in mind-bogglingly fancy language, qualifying every word in a dozen ways and taking paragraphs to get to the point.
Sir Nathaniel is the local curate, a man greatly impressed by Holofernes’s learning and by his own.
Holofernes is a pedant, and the local schoolteacher.
Anthony Dull is the local constable, a blunt and unloquacious man who has no qualms about admitting that he has no idea what anyone else is talking about when they use their high-falutin’ language.
Costard is a swain at the court of Navarre who is caught chatting with Jaquenetta by Armado in spite of the King’s order that men are not to see women.
Moth is Don Armado’s page, a young, small, and extremely quick-witted boy who can not only hold his own with his master’s affected language, but best him at it.
A Forester is unable to keep up with the Princess’ games of wit but is rewarded for trying all the same.

Henry II is Cast. Henry is the husband of Eleanor of Aquitaine and the father of Richard, Geoffrey, and John. He also has taken Alais Capet as his mistress. In his fifties, Henry is nearing the years when most men of that age died; however, he still has remarkable vigor and wit, as well as physical prowess. His clear favorite for his successor is his son, John, but his main desire is to keep his kingdom together after his death.
Eleanor of Aquitaine is Cast. The wife of Henry II and mother of Richard, Geoffrey, and John, Eleanor is a strong and powerful woman in her own right. She is still beautiful and still in many ways in love with her husband, although he keeps her in prison most of the time. She is a danger to Henry because of her strength and intelligence; and she champions the fight for Richard to be the next king.
Richard, male presenting, 20s. Eldest son of Richard and Eleanor. Filled with bravado and self-esteem, though it masks a more vulnerable side.
Geoffrey, male presenting, 20s. Middle son of Richard and Eleanor. Filled with intellect and cunning, but resentment for how his parents seem to favor one of his brothers or the other is what drives him the most.
John, male presenting, late teens. Youngest son of Richard and Eleanor. Filled with all of Richard’s bravado and self-esteem, though Richard has earned his on the battlefield and John is yet to do so. Very eager for the love and acceptance of his parents and brothers.
Alais, female presenting, early 20s. While Henry’s concubine, she is actually very much in love with him. She is in fact promised to Richard at the start of the play, something she and Henry haven’t yet figured out how to resolve. As much as she loves Henry, she knows his love for her is her only leverage and she intends to use it.
Philip, male presenting, late teens. King of France and brother to Alais. Quiet and intense, and far more savvy than anyone gives him credit.
