All's Well That Ends Well

First published within Shakespeare's "e;First Folio"e; of 1623, "e;All's Well That Ends Well"e;, rides a fascinating dramatic line between the comedy and the tragedy.

The play tells the story of Helena, a penniless worker at the Palace of Rousillion, and her cunning adventures to wed Bertram, the prosperous son of Rousillion.

When Helena rids the King of France of a peculiar illness, she is rewarded the hand of Bertram.

Faced with hesitancy from Bertram, she devises a most devious plan to birth his son and keep his ring.

Based on Baccacio's, "e;The Decameron"e;, the play energizes a classic theme of love conflicted by class.

Full of the expected wit and ardor of Shakespeare, "e;All's Well That Ends Well"e; defies typical genre classification, remaining an anomaly among the Shakespearean canon.
