The Merry Wives of the Wyndford

by Linda Duncan McLaughlin after Wm. Shakepeare
A Play, A Pie and A Pint at Oran Mor and Macrobert Stirling

A rip-roaring all-women, all-Glasgow update on Shakespeare’s riotous comedy about respect, trust and love, entirely performed by three actors and a wheelie bin. In Maryhill, a perennially skint con-man tries out a romantic fraud on two ultra-smart Wyndford wimmin but ends up getting thoroughly bamboozled himself! A distinctly Glasgow take on Wm. Shakespeare’s ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor’ from stage and television writer, Linda Duncan McLaughlin.

Cast: Giga Gray, Janette Foggo Linda Duncan McLaughlin

Director: Ken Alexander

Designer: Johnny Scott

“…Janette Foggo as Mistress Page, Giga Gray as the helpful feminist barmaid, and Linda Duncan McLaughlin herself as Mistress Ford, make a lively job of sending up a form of male vanity and folly that still seems oddly recognisable, a mere 425 years after The Merry Wives first took to the stage in London.” Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
