Roleystone Theatre’s fifth Shakespeare in the Park season will be the comedy “All’s Well That Ends Well”, directed by Paul Treasure. In the play, Helen heals the King of France who gives her permission to marry the man she loves. However, Lord Bertram rejects her and leaves a list of tasks she must do to have him acknowledge their marriage. The show is one of Shakespeare’s most thought-provoking, in which high-born Bertram learns humility and the true worth of his wife. It’s a Spring into Armadale must, if we do say so ourselves.
