This mysterious character seems a good way to end my Merry Wives of Windsor set in the 1950s. Poor Master Ford. He's such a jealous husband - completely un-trusting! He goes to The Garter Inn disguised as a man named 'Brook' to hire Falstaff to seduce Mistress Ford under his name, paying Falstaff a good deal of money.
The 'Brook' character puts me in mind of film noir - bad film noir - a parody really. He has the hat, tipped to shadow his face and the trench coat - very London Fog. I think that his shoes may need to be more fancy and interesting - to be really recognizable.
This was a really fun project. I would love to do a production like this some day...you know, with input from a director and everything. Someday...someday.
