Another sensational season is waiting in the wings

1 Henry IV

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Rosa Joshi
Riotous nights with friends and a father who's after you to take more responsibility are common features of youth. Less common is when your father is the King of England. A favorite actor returns to the Folger as four-time Helen Hayes Award-winner Edward Gero plays Falstaff in this compelling history.

 

Amadeus

By Peter Shaffer
Directed by Richard Clifford
Professional jealousy and personal crisis drives composer Antonio Salieri to turn from God and towards one clear, dark goal: destroying Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. After extraordinary Folger performances as Macbeth and Iago, Ian Merrill Peakes takes on the role of the jealous Salieri.

 

The Merry Wives of Windsor

By William Shakespeare
Directed by Aaron Posner
Falstaff has a plan to woo a wealthy woman of Windsor—he's not particular about which one. Though his romantic targets are fast friends, he hedges his bets and pursues both at once. Too bad for Falstaff, the Windsor wives have plans of their own.
