comic characters<br />
of all time.<br />
The Merry<br />
Wives of<br />
Windsor<br />
by William<br />
Shakespeare<br />
Sir John Falstaff gets more than he bargained for when he<br />
simultaneously pursues two wealthy married women. Upon<br />
receiving identical copies of Falstaff’s love letter, the spirited<br />
Mistresses Ford and Page cook up a scheme of their own to<br />
teach the fat knight a lesson, with outrageously funny results.<br />
Teachers: Here’s a great play for students to compare with<br />
A Midsummer Night’s Dream. In both comedies, young<br />
people escape to the forest to find love, and fairies (real or<br />
make-believe) play tricks on human beings.<br />

The<br />
Misanthrope<br />
by Molière<br />
Perpetually scornful of the hypocrisy<br />
around him, Alceste can’t help<br />
speaking frankly, regardless of whom<br />
he might offend. But even the sternest<br />
rectitude can succumb to the follies<br />
of the heart – and Alceste’s devotion<br />
to the flirtatious Célimène is about to<br />
turn his world hilariously upside down.<br />

Jesus Christ<br />
Superstar<br />
Lyrics by Tim Rice<br />
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber<br />
The zeal with which Christ’s followers<br />
are hailing him as the Son of God<br />
has become a source of dismay to<br />
his disciple Judas Iscariot. Fearing<br />
that this tide of religious fervour<br />
will provoke brutal repression by<br />
the occupying Romans, Judas<br />
must make his fateful choice<br />
between faith and betrayal.<br />
