My default position towards All’s Well That Ends Well is “Eeeugh.” The play isn’t written for modern sensibilities, true, but I can’t help the disgust I feel towards the treatment of Helena and, worse, her willingness to shoulder the appalling burden that Bertram places upon her. When Diana is describing Bertram’s wooing (to Helena!) I just want to slug him.
The fact that I was crying at the Epilogue is thus a testament to the miracle I saw in the New Theatre today.

Paul Nicholson was asked at a press event what the must-see production of the season was. Mr. Nicholson gave the “correct” answer, of course – “all of them”. Yes yes, true enough, but I don’t work with any of these people and I can afford to step on some toes. The must-see production of 2009 is The Servant of Two Masters, one of the most entertaining theatrical experiences I’ve ever seen.
