Act 1, Scene 1 contains the words Custalourum, Rato-lorum and Armigero. What do these words mean? You can use simple words. What would you advise to indicate in the footnotes to those readers who are not yet familiar with the work of Shakespeare?

All a bit too serious. I thought MERRY WIVES was the closest Shakespeare came to a farce, not a PBS drama.

@@swf4841 I may be in the minority here, but I prefer a production where the characters are real, believable human beings and this director apparently agrees. Certainly preferable to forced knockabout farces where the actors bend over backwards trying to milk a laugh. Just my humble opinion.

Kenneth Wayne but it was written as a farcical romp. But yes, I agree no need to milk the laughs either. That is ridiculous. I’ve seen productions of Merry Wives where they did that and they were awful. But I think it should be done as a farce at least. It is a very early farce. I mean you wouldn’t want to see a Ray Cooney as a kitchen sink drama would you? You would want you money back.
