Falstaff

Quite simply one of the greatest operas ever written, Verdi’s Falstaff is a comedy that gets funnier the older you get. Taken from Shakespeare, Falstaff is about the illusions we all have about ourselves and the fools they can make of us. Sir John Falstaff, a rakish old knight thinks he hasn’t lost a step in his ability to woo women whether married, younger or both! The pranks the wives play on Falstaff and the lessons they teach him and their gullible husbands form the centerpiece of this riotous and humane comedy.

True to form, OSJ has gathered the next generation of interpreters of this great comedy. A cast of rising stars -Daren Drone stars as Falstaff, Megan Ester Grey as Dame Quickly & Chanae Curtis as Alice Ford.
