Les Joyeuses commeres de Windsor
by William Shakespeare, translated by Felix Sauvage
Sir John Falstaff, vieux chevalier naif et jovial, desire courtiser Mistress Page et Mistress Ford, deux commeres de la cour de Windsor. Il va pour ce faire envoyer a chacune la meme lettre, se contentant de modifier la signature. Les deux femmes demasquent la manoeuvre de Falstaff, a son insu. Elles decident alors de se jouer de lui. Cette piece a ete ecrite par Shakespeare (1564-1616) en 1602 en moins de deux semaines a la demande de la Reine Elizabeth Ire, qui souhaitait a tout prix voir Falstaff – personnage de Henri IV – amoureux. Baignee dans une atmosphere pastorale et champetre ou se melent farce et feerie, cette comedie de moeurs est l’une des plus legeres et des plus originales de Shakespeare.
