Sir John Falstaff, loveable rogue, ex-military man, and permanent resident of the ALT Hotel is entranced by a couple of ladies, Alice Ford and Margaret Page, who are attending a conference there. Despite the fact that these honourable women are accompanied by their husbands, Sir John perceives an interest in himself and construes a plan for their seduction. Vanity, thy name is Falstaff! Abetted by the hotel concierge, Mistress Quickly, Falstaff arranges two meetings with Alice Ford. But, as it turns out, he is a man being played more than playing. He becomes the unwilling victim of the jealous rages of Ford's husband, Frank. At the third meeting, all hands join in the deception and revel at Sir John's unmasking and public embarrassment.
A Welsh Parson, a Shallow Justice, a Slender dupe, a Simple Servant, the lovely Anne Page and her guileless suitor Fenton, two musically-inclined hotel employees, and the imperturbable husband George Page, make up the rest of the ensemble.
Let the frolics begin!
