Shakespearean comedy freely interpreted at Agora-Kultur at Ostbahnhof
Actor Bernd Lafrenz will perform at Agora-Kultur am Ostbahnhof in Darmstadt on Friday, July 17, 2026, at 8 p.m. His solo production of Shakespeare's comedy *The Merry Wives of Windsor* will be presented. Doors open at 7 p.m.
The story centers on Sir John Falstaff, who tries to woo two wealthy women simultaneously. When the women see through his double game, they join forces with Mrs. Quickly to plot their revenge. What ensues is a turbulent comedy of errors full of surprising twists and turns.
According to tradition, William Shakespeare wrote the play at the request of Queen Elizabeth I, who wanted to experience the character of Falstaff as a lover. Bernd Lafrenz presents the comedy in his own free-flowing, comical interpretation, slipping into all the roles. Abel Aboualiten from Paris directs once again.
The event will take place at Agora-Kultur near Darmstadt's Ostbahnhof (East Train Station). Tickets cost €20, or €13 for concessions.
