The Very Merry Wives of Windsor, Iowa

Senator John Falstaff has lost the Iowa caucuses and is deep in debt. Hoping to unload some local purses into his pockets, the D.C. politician eyes two women–both married, one to a man, one to a woman. But in this heartland homeland, where gay marriage is legal and the state fair is about to open, hubris gets its comeuppance. In a unique "translation," Carey blends today’s language with Shakespeare’s words, mirrors his outrageous plot and comical characters, and unleashes a rapid-fire, shamelessly witty twist on the original play.
