What to watch for
- All's Well That Ends Well is considered one of Shakespeare's 'problem plays' which is a play that has an ethical quandary that has more than a simple solution.
- The play has earned a bit of an unlucky reputation, as tales of actors falling ill have surrounded it from the beginning, including in 1742, when the actor playing the King of France died during the show's run.
- Composer Simon Slater has composed over 300 scores for film, television, theatre, and radio. He earned an Olivier Award nomination for his music in Constellations.
- Despite the fact that the play was written around the early 1600s, there is no record of it being performed until 1741 at Goodman's Fields Theatre.
