Geo Answer: A new setting for The Merry Wives of Windsor
For our Geo Quiz, we asked you to name one of the official residences of the British royal family. It’s the largest inhabited castle in the world. The answer is Windsor Castle, in Windsor, England. Windsor is also the setting for William Shakespeare’s comedy, The Merry Wives of Windsor. The play is getting a new spin on the London stage as a tale of life in modern-day Zimbabwe. The World’s Laura Lynch went to watch a rehearsal.
