Step back in time to the wild, wild West, where anything goes. It's the Gold Rush, and tens of thousands of immigrants from around the world have flocked to California in search of their fortune. Among them is Sir John Falstaff, who, having failed to strike gold in the foothills, now attempts to win his fortune by other, less noble means. Enter Mistresses Page and Ford, whom Falstaff plots to separate from their gold by falsely pledging his love. The women, however, are not so easily fooled and turn the tables on the hapless Falstaff through a series of bawdy, raucous and hilarious pranks.
Enjoy this playful twist on Shakespeare's classic comedy that celebrates our region's vibrant history.
