Sian Phillips, Emma Fielding and Miriam Margolyes star in Shakespeare's comedy of men behaving badly and women doing it for themselves.
BBC radio has a unique heritage when it comes to Shakespeare. Since 1923, when the newly formed company broadcast its first full-length play, generations of actors and producers have honed and perfected the craft of making Shakespeare to be heard.
In All's Well That Ends Well, Shakespeare turns traditional fairytale on its head with the young Helena {Emma Fielding) who cures the King of France from a deadly illness and demands, as her reward, the hand of the young Count Bertram. But marriage is the last thing on badly-behaved Bertram's mind, and Helena must band together with her sisters to force him to honour his promise.The means may be devious but All's Well That Ends Well.
The play is introduced by Richard Eyre, former Director of the Royal National Theatre, with specially composed music.
Revitalised, original and comprehensive, this is Shakespeare for the new millennium.
