Synopsis - All's Well That Ends Well
The five acts follow the action of Helena, a lowborn beauty,
who pines for Count Bertram, the son of her guardian. She is
granted his hand as a reward for curing the King of a fistula.
Bertram, however, is indignant at being forced to marry below
his rank. After the wedding he decides he would rather face
death in battle than be subjected to a mean marriage. While at
war, he writes home to Helena: "When thou canst get the ring
upon my finger, which never shall come off, and show me a child
begotten of thy body that I am father to, then call me
husband."
Bertram thinks this is an impossible task. Helena, however,
with the aid of a maiden who has taken Bertram's fancy, tricks
him into giving her his family ring and sleeping with her as
per the "conditions" in his letter. In the final act, Helena's
cunning plot is revealed, and Bertram promises to be a faithful
husband to her.

In All's Well That Ends Well, Shakespeare turns
traditional fairytale on its head with the young Helena
(Emma Fielding) who cures the King of France from a deadly
illness and demands, as her reward, the hand of the young
Count Bertram. But marriage is the last thing on
badly-behaved Bertram's mind, and Helena must band together
with her sisters to force him to honour his promise.The
means may be devious but All's Well That Ends Well.
The play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director
of the Royal National Theatre, with specially composed
music.
Revitalised, original and comprehensive, this is
Shakespeare for the new millennium.
