Reynolds’ latest relocation of a William Shakespeare play to present-day America, the Harlem-set Merry Wives, doesn’t reimagine The Merry Wives of Windsor quite as radically as Fat Ham interrogated its ancient source, but the changes are still significant.

Aaron Posner’s early 2020 Folger iteration of The Merry Wives of Windsor went for flamboyant threads, too, setting the action in the bell-bottomed year of 1972. Merry Wives, adapted by Jocelyn Bioh from William Shakespeare and directed by Taylor Reynolds, runs through Oct. 5 at the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Harman Hall.
