"Shakespeare was not of an age, but for all time" - Ben Jonson. A poor doctor's daughter cures the King of France and, in return, is promised marriage to whichever nobleman she desires. However, the proud young count she chooses refuses to consummate the marriage and flees to Florence - after giving her a seemingly impossible task. Depicting the triumph of cunning over youthful arrogance, the comedy "All's Well That Ends Well" is one of Shakespeare's darkest romantic comedies, yet remains a powerful tribute to the power of love. Used and recommended by the National Theatre. General Editor: Stanley Wells. Edited by: Barbara Everett. Introduction: G.K. Hunter.
