All's Well That Ends Well
Inside the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, uncover a twisted tale of obsession, game-playing and deception in Shakespeare’s ruthless thriller, All’s Well That Ends Well.
When Helen cures the dying King, he grants her one wish: to choose any man she wants for her husband. Rejected by the man she’s always loved, Helen sets out to get him, by whatever means necessary.
When it comes to love, where do you draw the line?
Chelsea Walker (Visit from an Unknown Woman, Hampstead) makes her Globe directorial debut bringing Shakespeare’s rarely performed exploration of class, sexuality and gender to London’s only candlelit theatre.
‘Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none’
Act 1, Scene 1
Content guidance: This play contains scenes of sexual assault and physical violence, and themes of classism, misogyny, and homophobia.
