The Merry Wives of Windsor

1597
Shakespeare
The Merry Wives of Windsor
C+

I suspect that this play is better on stage than on page.  It's an OK farce but the subplot is forgettable and probably needs to be seen.  (What colour was Anne Page wearing if not white or green?)  Also, funnier than any joke in the play is Kaiser Wilhelm's joke about The Merry Wives of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
