Falstaff gets him come-uppance (three times) in this rather confused but at times immensely funny Shakespeare comedy - his only one about the middle classes. The story, almost certainly false, goes that Queen Elizabeth I so enjoyed the character of Falstaff that she asked to see him again in another play - in love. Shakespeare is supposed to have obliged with this delightful romp. Set in 1958 the year of the first Carry On film, this brilliantly constructed farce is placed in an era of you’ve never had it so good consumerism, teddy boys and glamorous girls.
