Written around 1604, All’s Well That Ends Well is one of Shakespeare’s boldest romantic comedies. When Helena—a brilliant, determined young woman—heals a king, she earns the right to choose her husband. But love isn’t so simple, and she must use wit, courage, and a daring plan to win the life she desires. Full of humor, heart, and twists, this rarely performed gem is a story of love on Helena’s terms.
All’s Well That Ends Well stars Angelique Archer (Regional: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pride and Prejudice) as Diana/Lady Dumaine, Anique Clements (NY Classical: Henry IV; National Black Theatre’s The Savage Queen) as Helena, Paul Deo Jr. (NY Classical debut; Off-Broadway: Troilus and Cressida) as Bertram, Karel Heřmánek Jr. (NY Classical debut; Prague Shakespeare Company) as Parolles, Carine Montbertrand (NY Classical: Henry IV; Classical Theatre of Harlem) as Countess of Rossillion/Widow, Briana Gibson Reeves (NY Classical: Henry IV; Off-Broadway: Made by God) as Lavatch/Lady Dumaine, Nick Salamone (NY Classical: Henry IV, Cymbeline) as King of France/Time, and Clay Sorseth (NY Classical: King Lear) as Lefeu.
The creative team includes director and adaptor Stephen Burdman (NY Classical Artistic Director), production designer Siena Zoë Allen (Carnegie Hall: The Eyes of the World, Off-Broadway: someone spectacular), voice and speech coach Nora Leonhardt (NY Classical: Henry IV, King Lear), and supervising producer/company manager Yetti Steinman (NY Classical: Cymbeline, Romeo & Juliet, MTC: The Father). Casting is by Stephanie Klapper.
