All's Well That Ends Well

Directed by John Neville-Andrews

"Who cannot be crushed with a plot?" Act IV Scene III

Is Helena devious and obsessive in her love for Bertram, or honest and righteous? Is Bertram an unredeemable and disdainful rogue, or a young man in need of life experience before wedlock? This romance comedy, with its captivating themes of male versus female, society's view of merit and rank, and the value of honor and integrity, keenly exposes each audacious plot after plot, until all ends well -- or does it?
