Shakespeare in the Woods presents Merry Wives, adapted and directed by Jaz Hall, running August 12–30, 2026 on the Taconic Lawn at The Equinox Golf Resort & Spa in Manchester, Vermont. This production reimagines Shakespeare's comedy through the lens of burlesque, drag, and queer camp, using the spectacle of peacock display as a framework for subverting societal expressions of masculinity. Grounded in absurdity and anachronism, the "Mistresses of Ceremony" preside over a heightened world that blends soap opera flair with pointed social commentary.
