At the Irvine Barclay Theater (@irvinebarclay) on Tuesday, April 7th @ 5pm. Free to everyone – simply RSVP via the link in our bio. You can join via live-stream too! The Merry Wives of Windsor have put John Falstaff in some compromising and even dangerous situations in response to his exploitative advances. Are they guilty of serious crimes? Or has John's atrocious behavior warranted a communal reckoning? You are the jury at this interactive theater event. Featuring Erwin Chemerinsky (@berkeleylaw) and Bernadette Meyler (@stanfordlawschool), with the Honorable Andrew Guilford (@ucilaw) presiding. New Swan actors will present scenes from our upcoming summer musical adaptation, "The Merry Wives of Windsor Cove," directed by Eli Simon. @annamarjorie @wynmoreno @lourdescastill.o Co-sponsored by UCI Law, Berkeley Law, and Stanford Law. Event coordination by Julia Lupton. Designs by Jesús López.
