David Wagoner, portraying Falstaff, gave a wonderful charac terization of this merry rogue. He seemed perfectly at ease as the Ipear-shaped. knight who fancied himself the desired love of all women. Speaking in a voice that seemed accustomed to Shakes pearian speech, he rolled his r's in a tone that conveyed to the audi ence Shakespeare's ideas of un faithfulness.
