The Comedy of Falstaff

A Cabaret Epic

By Wim Coleman

Canto I: Wandering Judas
Wim Coleman's The Comedy of Falstaff is a comic verse epic-in-progress about the adventures of Shakespeare's immortal rogue in the afterlife. When completed, this aggressively eccentric work will follow Falstaff from the moment of his death through hell, purgatory, and paradise-along the way exploring themes of human destiny, sin and redemption, and the evolution of life and consciousness. Coleman's inspirations for this poem include Byron, Dante, Chaucer, Rabelais, Milton, Goethe, Nietzsche, the Arabian Nights Entertainments, the Bible-and, of course, Shakespeare. Now available is the first canto "massive nursery rhyme for adults."
