' In the UNL University Theatre production of Th$ Merry Wives of Windsor, the character of Mistress Page sums it up for ell of us (not only .wives): "Wives may be merry, but honest, too." This lively, boisterous play, which opened last Friday, is indeed full of both merriment and honesty. Director William Morgan has molded the crew into a set of fan tastic characters. Each actor takes his or her role and transforms it into a comical view of life that the entire audience can enjoy. Falstaff, played by Eric Sorenson, has the necessary gusto and conceit to make you laugh, but he still has some personal foibles that you have to sympathize with. 0 1227 'R' Strcst Ga.m.-10 p.m. ASI night Friday Open 7 Days 048th & Holdrogo G am. -1 p.m. Til 6 p.m. Sundays s O Fresh Ground Coffeo O Fresh Pastry Everyday (Whsre quslity still counts.) - The audience knows from the start that his pompous 'attitudes will get him nothing but trouble and -the audience' even finds out about the plans to trick him. However, the real fun of the evening comes from watch ing how Falstaff is deceived in his lustful endeavors. That' is the secret of Morgan's directorial skills in Merry ' Wives.

Nebraska Union, Room number pestsd. Ca prompL Although the character Is indeed little in stature, his antics in motion and malapropism make him a giant. Under all the fine qualities of the cast, there lies the ultimate responsibility; the direction. Morgan gets the best out of people which includes rowdy staging that avoids over playing the laughs. The subtle humor comes through with double entendres and gestures to match. Movement on stage flows with meaning instead of resemb ling a time to move around a bit" mood. , This was especially notable because Merry Wives has such a large cast and increased numbers of actors means , blocking them as heards and not individuals., It does take a while for the play to gain momentum. Within a matter of minutes, though the cast sparks and the plot fires up.. Speaking of the plot, there lies a slight problem. The involved subplots sometimes get too tangled to follow easily.
