Shakespeare play to be offered in park

The People's Shakespeare Project (TPSP) will present "The Merry Wives of Windsor" at LancasterHistory, 230 N. President Ave., Lancaster. Performances will begin at 6:30 p.m. daily from Wednesday, June 21, to Sunday, June 25.

Set in the mid-1950s, the play focuses on a group of people who gather at a resort near Windsor, Conn., for a take-down of Sir John Falstaff - played by Justin Hopkins - whose bad behavior demands a course correction. A pair of housewives - Mistresses Ford and Page, played by Eileen Daub and Nancy Pletcher, respectively - deliver Falstaff's comeuppance, including a dunk in the river and dressing up in a pair of horns.

The production is directed by Rachel Luann Strayer, who previously directed numerous outdoor plays for Ghostlight Productions in Clarks Summit. She is primarily a playwright, whose works have been produced across the country and in Canada.

This is TPSP's third Shakespeare-in-the Park production at LancasterHistory.

The event is free, but a donation per person is requested. For more information, visit http://www.peoplesshakespeareproject.org, call 717-468-9194 or email jeremiah@peoplesshakespeareproject.org.
