General: The production was spectacular incorporating cable cars suspended from the ceiling from which actors made their entrances and exits. A medieval jacuzzi and sun loungers serving as army wagons formed part of the set design. The production used video images, realised and directed by Alexander Meier and Daniel Hertli, which projected on to the floor, allowing the images to blend with the stage design and actors. Live music played throughout, stopping only when Falstaff came on stage.
History: The production premiered 22 December 2002
Textual information: Translated into German by Frank Guenther.
