Hanky-panky in Windsor – Iowa, that is. Senator John Falstaff has lost the Iowa caucus and is deep in debt. Hoping to unload some local purses into his pockets, the D.C. politician eyes two women – both married, one to a man, one to a woman. But in this heartland homeland, where gay marriage is legal and the state fair is about to open, hubris gets its comeuppance. In a unique “translation” originally commissioned for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Alison Carey blends today’s language with Shakespeare’s words, mirroring his outrageous plot and comical characters, and unleashing a rapid-fire, shamelessly witty twist on the original play.
Ensembles features actors grades 9 – 12.
