All’s Well that Ends Well • ONLINE • 10:30 a.m. MOUNTAIN TIME

ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL is famous for having the most well-known title but being one of the least performed plays. This is Shakespeare’s last comedy, along with Measure for Measure, which are both considered “problem plays” with ethical dilemmas. It is believed to have been written around the time of Hamlet. The text is dense; the heroine, Helena, is complex, and it is often difficult to understand her actions; Bertram, the young man she is obsessed with, is quite unlikable, but often understandably so. All the class system restrictions Shakespeare has taught us about in other plays get turned upside down here. Join us in puzzling out this odd play!

This is a CLOSE READ—we read slowly and carefully, taking time to talk about every line so we understand the depths and layers!
