EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL
AUGUST 7TH-31ST 2026
Experience Shakespeare’s beloved comedy Much Ado About Nothing from the point of view of Messina’s most misguided watchmen, Dogberry and Verges. Armed with lanterns, loyalty, and very little logic, these unlikely heroes blunder their way to a happy conclusion for all. Off stage, Benedick and Beatrice spar their way toward the aisle, while our bumbling constables take center stage. As they patrol the periphery, they stumble into a brand-new adventure fueled by paranoia, pride, and plenty of nonsense. This World Premiere buddy comedy will warm your heart and leave you laughing long after the lanterns go out.
THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR
CINCINNATI SHAKESPEARE COMPANY
NOVEMBER 13-DECEMBER 5 2026
Schemes, disguises, and delicious comeuppance abound in Shakespeare’s merriest misadventure. Set in a sparkling winter wonderland filled with plenty of good cheer, The Merry Wives of Windsor follows two clever women who outwit the devious and debauched Sir John Falstaff. This puffed-up tipsy holiday patriarch, who believes he belongs at the head of the feast, finds himself bundled, baffled, and brilliantly outplayed by wives who refuse to be fooled. Each clever trap lands with festive flair, proving that Windsor’s women really run the show.
