Delightful scenes and clever characters contribute to the frivolity of this light comedy in which Shakespeare uses one of his favorite devices: trickery. Helena, new wife of the young Count Bertram, resorts to chicanery to win the respect and affection of her husband -- a plot relished by Elizabethan playgoers. By extolling the cunning of a woman in love, this play exemplifies a typical element of a medieval romance.

Helena loves the arrogant Bertram, and when she cures the King of France of his sickness, she claims Bertram as her reward. But her new husband, flying from Helena to join the wars, attaches two obstructive conditions to their marriage - conditions he is sure will never be met. All's Well That Ends Well grinds the romantic against the realistic at every turn and brilliantly reverses all the usual expectations of Shakespearean comedy. Some of Shakespeare's most inventive language gives life to not just his single-minded heroine and her churlish lover, but a fantastic cast of frauds, cynics, sentimentalists and buffoons. Featuring Olivier-award winning actress Janie Dee as the Countess of Roussillon, Sam Crane as Bertam and Ellie Piercy as Helena.
