All's Well That Ends Well

Product Description

'All's well that ends well; still the fine's the crown. Whate'er the course, the end is the renown'

A poor doctor's daughter cures the King of France, and in return is promised marriage to any nobleman she wishes. But the proud young count she chooses refuses to consummate the marriage and flees to Florence - after setting her a seemingly impossible task. Depicting the triumph of trickery over youthful arrogance, All's Well That Ends Well is among Shakespeare's darkest romantic comedies, yet it remains a powerful tribute to the strength of love.

'He was not of an age, but for all time.' Ben Jonson
