Details
Scenes directed by Eli Simon
The Merry Wives of Windsor have put Sir John Falstaff in some compromising and even dangerous situations in response to his exploitative advances. Are they guilty of serious crimes? Or has Jack's atrocious behavior warranted a communal reckoning?
Join us for the 2026 Shakespeare Trial featuring Erwin Chemerinsky (Berkeley Law) and Bernadette Meyler (Stanford Law), with the Honorable Andrew Guilford (UCI Law) presiding. New Swan actors will present scenes from the upcoming production, The Merry Wives of Windsor Cove, directed by Eli Simon. You are the jury at this interactive theater event.
Free and open to all.
To sign up for the live stream, register here.
Co-sponsored by UCI Law, Berkeley Law, and Stanford Law.
Tickets are complimentary, but please reserve in advance.
Please note: There is a two ticket limit per registrant.
For groups of 10 or more, please contact Julia Lupton: jrlupton@uci.edu.
